The Donjon du Plessis dates from the 11th century and offers an unobstructed view of the Cotentin marshes, the Mont Castre and the peat bog of Gorges. The Donjon was almost completely destroyed in these war days and was in ruins for over 20 years. Only in 1967 did a squad of volunteers begin to rescue from the remains what could be saved.
