History
The manor Saint-Nicolas was constructed between 1786 and 1789 by Nicolas Deslandes, a shipowner from Granville. The building is arranged symmetrically on either side of a central avant-corps not projecting, but emphasised by pilasters with grooved work and surmounted by a triangular pediment. Interior, the great hall of the ground floor contains a chimney in Louis XVI style with seven painted overmantels representing romantic landscapes. The dining room contains woodwork, as does the boudoir on the upper storey.
