Origin and history
La Sapée Manor House, also known as the Fierville Farm, is an iconic building located in Fierville-les-Parcs, Calvados department, Normandy. Dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, this monument embodies the traditional rural architecture of the Auge, with a house of the second half of the 18th century and preserved agricultural outbuildings (stables, press, bakery, stables). Its press, built in the 17th century, still retains an apple tower and two long-knit presses, testimonies of local agricultural activities.
Ranked a historic monument since February 18, 1993, the mansion and its annexes (including two stables, a henhouse, a forage shed, and a cellar) reflect the economic and social organization of the Norman countryside. The facades and roofs of buildings, as well as their equipment (such as the bread oven), are protected for their heritage value. Private property, this site offers a representative example of augeron rural habitat, combining residential and agricultural functions.
The location of the mansion, at 115 Chemin du Bois du Prieuré, and its inscription in the Mérimée inventory underline its importance in the architectural heritage of Calvados. Although information on its accessibility (visits, accommodation) is limited, its state of conservation and its technical characteristics (columbing, agricultural equipment) make it a valuable witness to Norman rural history.
