Key facts
ProtectionClassé MH
Classé monument historique: the highest level of heritage protection in France, decided by the national government. Any work on the protected parts needs state approval and is supervised by the state heritage services.
About
Few residences embody half-timbered Norman architecture as well as the manoir de Coupesarte, in the heart of the pays d'Auge. Its L-shaped buildings, bristling with corbeled corner turrets, are reflected in the water-filled moat.
Once a farmhouse, the manor has become a precious testament to the building traditions of the Auge region, and it retains interior painted decor of rare quality.
Built between the 16th and 18th centuries, the manor has belonged to several families, from the d'Anisy family to the Le Viconte family starting in 1767. Today it is privately owned.
Built with half-timbering filled with brick, the manor consists of two L-shaped wings, accented by three pepper-pot turrets. Inside, painted ceilings with floral motifs and mythological scenes survive, notably in the room known as the Chamber of Love.
Listed as a historic monument since 1947, the manor, which is privately owned, was selected in 2025 as one of the sites supported by the Loto du patrimoine to fund its restoration. Only the exterior can be visited.
