This castle is not one of the many places of memory of Protestantism in the Bocage. The “De Grésille” will remain Catholic. However, the existing rivalry between the two lordly families “Payen” of the Château de La Poupelière and “De Grésille” of the Château de St Sauveur, concerning the supremacy of Ste Honorine la Chardonne, fueled the conflicts and pillaging during the religious wars of the Bocage.

To go further: How did Nicolas de Grésille end up in prison in Avranches in 1566 following the looting of the castle of St Sauveur ordered by Guillaume Payen?
