Immerse yourself in the history of the Manoir de Tourpes

And compose the rest.

16th c.

Manoir de Tourpes was built in the 16th century in the commune of Troarn in Calvados, Normandy.

December 26, 1928

The facades and roofs of the Manoir de Tourpes are listed as Historic Monuments.

1940

During the Second World War, the Germans occupied the commune of Troarn, located south-west of the Dives marshes. The 5th company of Panzergrenadier-Regiment 125 of the 21 Panzer-Division set up its command posts there, headed by Oberleutnant Brandenburg.

June 6, 1944

The 3rd Para Brigade of the British 6th Airborne Division, led by Major Tim Roseveare, was tasked with securing the left flank of their bridgehead, in particular by destroying the Troarn bridge. Despite numerous parachute-related drownings in the marshes and German counterattacks, the Allies succeeded in destroying the bridge just before withdrawing. Nevertheless, the town remained in German hands.

August 17, 1944

It was Operation Goodwood on July 18, 1944, aimed at recapturing the city of Caen from the east, that changed the situation in Troarn. It wasn't until Operation Paddle on August 17, 1944, that the commune was liberated and returned to Allied hands.
