Origin and history

The manor house of Hubertant is a 15th, 16th and 18th century building located in the former commune of Saint-Louet-sur-Lozon, now integrated in Marigny-Le-Lozon (Manche, Normandy). This estate consists of a double entrance porch (charter and pedestrian), a farm, commons and a 16th century house body, flanked by two circular towers pierced with nine mouths. The wooden sills, their original interior shutters and stained glass windows are still visible, while the original screw staircase was replaced in the 17th century by a central staircase with balusters.

Prior to 1380, the fief belonged to the Bretteville family, then passed to the Fourmys through the marriage of Guillemette (or Gillette) of Bretteville with Thomas Fourmy. The current mansion was built at the hinge of the 15th and 16th centuries. Interior fittings (parquets, fireplaces, panelling) were added in the 18th century, reflecting the evolution of tastes and aristocratic comfort. The facades, roofs, stairways and four chimneys have been protected as historical monuments since 2002.

The site illustrates the defensive and residential architecture of the Norman Renaissance, mixing medieval elements (tours, mouths to fire) and subsequent adaptations. Its double porch, typical of the manoral ensembles, emphasizes its importance in the local seigneurial organization. The transformations of the 17th and 18th centuries testify to its continued occupation by noble families, although their names after 1380 are not specified in the sources.

Today, the manor house stands on Rue du Manoir in Lozon, within the new town of Marigny-Le-Lozon. Its state of conservation and its original elements (glass windows, sledges, chimneys) make it a remarkable example of Norman rural heritage, open to contemporary uses (visits, events) not detailed in available sources.
