In the south of Orne, on the edge of a small town, an old 19th-century convent sits on nearly 7 hectares of land. Close to the village, the property is set back from a small road, concealed by a tree-lined front garden. A winding path traverses this green screen and leads to the imposing main facade of the old convent, oriented southeast. Built of regular stone masonry, the building rises four levels, crowned with a central pediment. The whole presents a monastic regularity: vertical openings with stone frames, a slate two-pitched roof topped with a bell tower, chimney stacks, and roof windows. Two staircases precede the two entrance doors, the main one topped with a stone cross. It is centered on the facade and adorned with a semicircular arch that distinguishes it from the other rectangular openings of the building. At the back, a central wing at right angles is extended by the choir of the chapel, whose keel-shaped roof is covered with shingles, above a pointed arch opening. Several unique modules have been built on either side: a ground-level room with the reception floor and a turret with toilets on each level. Set back to the northeast, the former presbytery is more modest. It has two levels and is currently under renovation, hinting at a careful restoration that respects its traditional architecture. Nearby, a stone washhouse is against an old wall. The site also includes several outbuildings, such as a small guardhouse pavilion, a workshop topped with a large terrace, and a chicken coop. At the back of the buildings lies a vast estate of nearly 6.5 hectares comprised of meadows, orchards, enclosures, groves, hedgerows, and cultivated fields. A stream crosses the property amidst the meadows.
