“La Ferme Manoir du Pavillon” was built between the XIVth and the XVIIIth century on demand of the monks of the Abbey of Fécamp.
The gate and the dwelling building (main one ‘corps de logis’) are from the XIVth century.The stairway tower and southwest end are from the XVth.
The renovation of the gate and main buildings occurred during the first half of the XVIIth century.
Farm buildings, barns, stables, cowshed, henhouse, carriage shed, bakehouse and, above all, the apple mill, the cider press, the still and vaulted cellar extend over 1000 sq.meters.
The square dwelling tower had a roof in the shape of a pavillon (or a tent) which gave its name to the farm.

On September 9th, 1599, according to a map of the XVIIth century, a royal edict authorised the construction of the bakehouse and the cider press.
So in 1600, the monks bought quarry stones and ashlars at the nearby quarry of Creully.

The production of cider and Calvados is quite an early tradition on this estate. If we refer to William de Gouberville’s writings, we find there the first principles of distillation of the “cider brandy”, which will soon get the brand name of “Calvados”.

In 1856, at the agricultural competition in Bayeux, La Ferme Manoir du Pavillon was awarded a prize for the quality of its plantation.

The Canton of Ryes, including the town of Arromanches were, in 1944, in the heart of the allies landings in Normandy.
