This house located down town Bayeux as been originally built in 1308 by a Norman knight from, an old local family, related to William. The Manor stayed in the Guérin Family till the English confiscated it and then occupied the place. During the second period of the one Hundred Years War, the house was seriously damaged and rebuilt by the English knight who was living in this property, his signature being the staircase which twists counter clockwise instead of the French clockwise way.
