Manoir Saint-Nicolas stands in Granville (Manche), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Granville, on the site of the former village of Saint-Nicolas, this Louis XVI style manor was built in the late 1780s for a shipowner who had made his fortune in maritime trade and privateering. Both its landward-facing east front, built that way to shelter from sea winds, and its west front facing the sea, follow a symmetrical layout centred on a projecting-free section topped by a triangular pediment. Inside are a large ground-floor drawing room with a fireplace and seven painted overdoor panels, as well as a dining room and an upstairs boudoir with period woodwork.

Written from Manoir Saint-Nicolas (Granville)

  • The manor is privately owned, by descendants of a family who restored it after the Second World War.
  • It stands on Avenue des Vendéens, in the area of the former village of Saint-Nicolas-près-Granville, merged into Granville in 1962.
