Château de La Boulaye, Historical château in Cerisy-la-Forêt, France.

Château de La Boulaye is an 18th-century manor house in Normandy displaying the hallmarks of classical French residential design. Dressed stone facades and regularly spaced windows define its appearance, while the layout reflects the functional arrangement typical of noble estates from this period.

Château de La Boulaye is a former seigneurial castle rebuilt in the 17th and 18th centuries on the territory of Cerisy-la-Forêt in the Manche. In June 1944, during the Battle of Normandy, it housed the headquarters of the US 2nd Infantry Division. General Eisenhower and Omar Bradley came there to encourage the American soldiers.

The château's name, also written La Boullaye, comes from the seigneurial estate rebuilt in the 17th and 18th centuries in Cerisy-la-Forêt. Its park is listed in the Inventaire général du patrimoine culturel, the national inventory of cultural heritage. Visitors can look for the tower's band of reddish brickwork with circular motifs above the arched windows.

The château stands in the commune of Cerisy-la-Forêt, in the Manche department of Normandy, at coordinates 49.17750, -0.93674. Its park is recorded in the Inventaire général du patrimoine culturel. The sources give no opening times, tours or visitor facilities, so check locally before travelling.

In June 1944 the château housed the headquarters of the US 2nd Infantry Division. General Dwight D. Eisenhower and General Omar Bradley came here in person to encourage the American soldiers.
