Manoir de la Saucerie, Manor estate in Domfront en Poiraie, France.
The fortified entrance of the manor features two circular towers with timber-framed upper sections and a central rectangular building topped by a dome.
Eleanor of Aquitaine granted these lands to Robert le Saucier in 1198, who built the first manor on a moated mound near Domfront Castle.
The entrance gate displays the coat of arms of the Doynel family, who transformed the property into a fortified residence during the 15th century.
The remains of the manor include a monumental gate, an octagonal dovecote, and a well, which visitors can observe from the exterior.
The round towers incorporate numerous embrasures for culverins and feature chestnut wood roofs designed to resemble overturned ship hulls.
