# Motte féodale de Rivray

Sablons sur Huisne, Orne, Normandie

Motte féodale de Rivray stands in Sablons sur Huisne (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Middle Ages). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Sablons sur Huisne, in the Orne department, the Rivray motte preserves the memory of an earthwork fortification raised between the 10th and 11th centuries, on high ground overlooking the old road linking Chartres to Le Mans. No building remains standing: it is the earthwork itself, still ringed by its ditches, that bears witness to this timber stronghold destroyed in 1428 during the Hundred Years' War. An old castle chapel stands close by.

**No visits on record.** No opening hours or ticketing found.
