Origin and history

The former Sacey Castle is a monument located in the municipality of the same name, in the department of Manche (50), in the Normandy region. Although its construction period is not specified in the available sources, it is now known to house a chapel dedicated to Notre-Dame-de-Pitié, as well as still visible moats. This site has been partially protected under the Historic Monuments since 1992, with an inscription specifically covering the chapel and adjacent moat.

The chapel and moat of Sacey Castle illustrate a local heritage typical of the small seigneuries or religious buildings of Normandy. In this region, castles and their outbuildings often played a central role in the social and religious organization of rural communities, serving as places of worship, protection or assembly. Although the precise historical details of this monument are lacking, its inscription as Historic Monuments underscores its heritage importance to the commune and the region.

The site is now owned by the municipality of Sacey. Its exact address, 3 Rue Saint Thomas, and its Insee code (50443) allow to locate it in the district of Saint-Lô, in Lower Normandy. The accuracy of its geographic location is estimated as "passible" (note 5/10), which may indicate minor uncertainties about its exact location in the databases.

The protected elements of Sacey Castle are limited to the chapel and moats, as specified in the 1992 registration decree. No information is available about the opening of the site to the public, its current vocation (room rental, guest rooms) or any recent developments. The sources mention only its presence in the Merimée and Monumentum bases, without further details on its contemporary use.
