Norman castle dating from the 11th century. It remains private property, but you can stop and admire its exterior.

The Château de La Haye-du-Puits is located in the commune of La Haye, in the Manche department, 20 km southeast of Barneville-Carteret.

Built in the 11th century by the local lord Tristin, on a mound, it passed to a seneschal of the King of England at the end of the same century. During the Hundred Years' War, on the other hand, the seat of the Barony of The Hague passed to a loyalist of the King of France who was, however, soon stripped of the property...

Of this primitive fortress, all that remains is a square keep (5 m on each side), 20 high, housing a staircase and on which we can still see the elements which made it possible to operate the drawbridge, as well as some beginnings of the curtain walls which adjoined it.

A more residential manor, from the 16th and 17th centuries, with turrets and vaulted cellars, succeeded the original castle: it is visible on the other side of the street.

The interiors of the old keep, listed since 1840, are closed to the public for security reasons but its surroundings are accessible. Information panels have been installed. The nearby manor house with a Renaissance-style door has remained privately owned. Its exterior elements can be observed from the street.
