Manoir des Groisilliers stands in Rumesnil (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The Groisilliers manor stands in Rumesnil, in the Calvados region, on the site of a former priory-church run by Premonstratensian canons, the only one of its kind to survive the French Revolution in the Pays d'Auge. Visitors find a timber-framed complex characteristic of 18th-century local building, together with farm outbuildings, enclosed grounds and a pond marking the spot where the old parish church once stood before its destruction in the 19th century. The site appeals to those interested in Norman rural architecture and local religious history.
