Church of Our Lady of the Assumption and Surville Manor

Highlight • Castle

The initial building was built in the 13th and 14th centuries. This is the construction of the Sainte-Anne chapel by the owner of the manor. A frieze goes around the church and tells the story of the owner of the manor. Inside, one can admire a credenza which has a special hole in the bottom of the receptacle allowing the holy water to return to the foundations of the church. eglisesenmanche.com/eglises-du-nord-cotentin/s/surville
