Manoir de Coutainville, Fortified house in Agon-Coutainville, France.

The granite manor stands on elevated ground in old Coutainville, with architectural elements reflecting its defensive purpose from the late 15th century.

Originally built around 1500, the manor belonged to Jehan de Costentin, field marshal of the Ile-de-France regiment, who managed local fishing rights.

The manor received official recognition as a historical monument in June 1937, marking its importance in French architectural preservation efforts.

The manor functions as a bed and breakfast establishment, allowing guests to experience accommodations within a genuine medieval fortified residence.

During the 16th century, disputes arose between local nobles regarding fishing rights at Mare de l'Essay, resulting in restricted commercial fishing permissions.
