A beautiful castle

The Château de Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte is a castle dating from the 11th century. Sacked twice during the Hundred Years War, it is now in ruins. Although not as impressive as some castles that are still intact, this castle is open to the public and very accessible. It is a wonderful place to visit.

Located in the center of Cotentin, Saint-Sauveur-Le-Vicomte has vast expanses of marshes, a pretty forest massif and several hilly sites, culminating at Mont de Taillepied.

The Château de Surville is located 500 m from the seaside, along the dunes (haven of Surville) in a protected site. The 12 hectares of the property extend along the tourist route which goes from Mont Saint-Michel to Cherbourg. Today a hotel; weekend rental. 17 bedrooms with the possibility of sleeping more than 50 people.

The initial building was built in the 13th and 14th centuries. This is the construction of the Sainte-Anne chapel by the owner of the manor. A frieze goes around the church and tells the story of the owner of the manor. Inside, one can admire a credenza which has a special hole in the bottom of the receptacle allowing the holy water to return to the foundations of the church. https://www.eglisesenmanche.com/eglises-du-nord-cotentin/s/surville The mansion is directly next to the church. The castle is 500 m to the north.

Beautiful little place Birg impressive.

The oldest parts date back to the 12th century. You could not enter the property. A small ditch lies around the buildings. It seems to be inhabited in parts. Very mysterious and picturesque. Monument historique (MH) since 29 November 2000.

It is the Château d'Omonville-la-Foliot with an Italian Renaissance garden in the backyard. Guided tours on the site are probably possible.
