Origin and history

Le manoir des Tourelles is a 17th-century mansion located in the commune of Grosville, in the Manche department, in the Normandy region. This monument is distinguished by its characteristic architecture of the period, with three pavilions whose facades and roofs have been protected as historical monuments since 1975. It is located in the immediate vicinity of the Saint Martin church, about 80 meters north of it, suggesting integration into the historical fabric of the village.

The manor house was partially registered as historic monuments by order of 17 March 1975. This protection applies specifically to the facades and roofs of the three pavilions, identified in the cadastre under the references A 670 and A 672. Although the available sources do not detail its history or owners, its status as a historical monument and its precise location (8 Rue des Tourelles) make it an important part of the architectural heritage of the Channel.

The Normandy region, and especially the Manche department, has many manor houses and castles dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. These residences, often linked to the aristocracy or the local bourgeoisie, reflect the architectural and social changes of their time. The Tourelles mansion is part of this, although the accessible archives do not provide information about its occupants or its original use.
