The Manoir du Verger stands at Le Mesnil-Durand, part of the commune of Livarot-Pays-d'Auge in Calvados, Normandy. Built around 1455, it retains its original farm buildings and a striking hexagonal timber and cob dovecote added in the following century. The estate belonged in turn to the Hesdiart family and later the Jourdain family. Visitors come mainly to see this rural Norman ensemble of manor house and outbuildings.
