Things to see and do

A new town born of the reunification of several towns and villages in the English Channel, La Haye has an important architectural and historical heritage.

Classified as historical monuments, the remains of the donjon and the medieval castle of the ancient city of La Haye-du-Puits are surely the most interesting tourist site of La Haye. Former 11th century fortress erected on a clod, it reveals a donjon more than six meters in height. In front of the street, one can appreciate a second castle, in reality a manor built in the sixteenth century by Arthur de Magneville, and modified in the XVIIth century.

In Baudreville, one can also appreciate the remains of an old castle with some walls, a ditched platform, as well as the remains of circular corner towers. You can also discover the vestiges of a crenellated quadrangular enclosure, as well as a walkway through a wooden gallery. A door dating from the seventeenth century is also visible.

Churches are not lacking in La Haye and several of them are of great architectural interest. The church of Saint-Jean-l'Evangéliste of the XIXe century shelters notably the monument funeral of Arthur of Magneville classified to Historic Monuments. You will also appreciate the Sainte-Marguerite, Saint-Pierre de Bolleville, Saint-Pierre de Glatigny churches from the 17th century, Saint-Rémy from the 15th century, and Notre-Dame de Surville from the same period. The Saint-Aubin church in Mobecq hosts a painting by Alphonse Osbert, The Martyrdom of Christ. The latter was exhibited at the Salon of 1889.
