Origin and history
The Manor House of the Barguignerie is a Renaissance-style residence built around 1560-1570, located 100 metres northwest of the Church of Saint-Christophe, in the commune of Saint-Christophe-du-Foc (Department of the Manche, Normandy). This house, raised on an elevated ground floor and flanked by a corbelled scauguette, illustrates the seigneurial architecture of the area, with decorative elements such as canned pilasters and Corinthian capitals.
The manor house, organized on three levels (celler, room, seigneurial chamber), shares common features with other local buildings of the same period, such as the manor house of the Court in Reigneville-Bocage or that of Graffard in Carteret. These buildings reflect the lifestyle of Norman rural elites during the Renaissance, combining residential function and architectural prestige.
Partially classified as historical monuments by order of 3 October 1994, the mansion of the Barguignerie includes protected elements such as the house of the sixteenth century, the facades and roofs of the east side wing, as well as the communes closing the courtyard. Its inscription bears witness to its heritage value in the architectural landscape of Lower Normandy.
