Jardin du Manoir de l'Aumônerie

Also known as the Knights Templar’s Farm, the Aumônerie Manor House is located a few kilometres from Rouen, in the town of Saint-Martin-de-Boscherville. Built in 1214 by the Knights Templars, the manor house is a typical example of 13th century architecture. This site comprises several outbuildings, a medieval garden planted with medicinal herbs and rare species, a boxwood maze, an orchard and Saint Gorgon Chapel, which was built in the 16th century.

These stones are 800 years old! The Manor House was built by the Knights Templars in 1214. This Norman farmyard comprises numerous outbuildings, a 100-metre deep well, a medieval garden (medicinal and aromatic herbs, condiments, flowers, fruits and vegetables) and the chapel Saint Gorgon ornamented with frescoes representing the 12 apostles and the 12 Sybils.
