    The Guard House, also called the Chapel of the Corps de Garde or the Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire Chapel or the Grapillon Chapel, is located on the territory of the French commune of Saint-Germain-sur-Ay, in the department of Manche Region Normandy. It was a 17th century fortified building that served as coastal surveillance for the Coast Guard and then the Customs Officers.
    The old guardhouse, testimony to the defense of the Cotentin coasts under the Ancien Régime, is listed as a Historical Monument.
