Manoir du Lieu-Rocher stands in Vieux-Pont (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, second quarter of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The manor of Lieu-Rocher stands opposite the Oudon valley, in the former commune of Vieux-Pont, now part of Saint-Pierre-en-Auge. The main dwelling dates from the 17th century and was extended a century later with two side pavilions, combining finely decorated timber framing with brick façades. A farmyard lined with outbuildings — stable, cowshed, press house and cart shed — completes this Norman ensemble, which now operates as a guesthouse.
