A beautiful castle

The harbor of St Germain sur Ay is superb

At the ruins of St. Thomas Church, you’ll immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of this historic site, surrounded by the rolling hills of the Normandy countryside. The church dates back to the 12th century. During your visit, be sure to observe the detailed carvings and remains of the church’s Gothic architecture. The tranquil setting, combined with an air of medieval history, makes these ruins a peaceful and reflective visit as you hike.

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.

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.

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.
