The villages of Colomby-Anguerny - Cœur de Nacre tourisme

Two villages in one…

The villages of Anguerny and Colomby-sur-Thaon merged in 2019 to form a single commune: Colomby-Anguerny.

At the entrance to Colomby-Anguerny: a spring landscape, hair in the pasture and in the distance the yellow blanket of rapeseed fields.

Things to see and do :

The Manor House and Tithe Barn (16th century, manoir et grange au dîme): a building where the agricultural income collected for the tithe was stored. The massive walls of the barns show buttresses to support the pressure of the stocks stored inside,
The fire house : Built in 1875 on the edge of the Anguerny pond, at the northern exit of the village, this small fire house served as a shed for the firemen of the villages of Colomby-Anguerny and Basly and housed a hand-operated fire pump, fed by water from the pond,
The church of Saint-Martin (église Saint-Martin): From the 11th and 14th centuries, the bell tower is probably one of the oldest in Calvados.
The church of Saint-Victor (église Saint-Victor) : a Romanesque building probably built in the 12th century,
The stele of the Queen’s Own Riffles of Canada : Canadian regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division which contributed to the liberation of Anguerny after having liberated the commune of Bernières-sur-Mer.
The Inukshuk : a pile of stones which symbolises for the Inuit a link between the temporal and spiritual world, built in homage to Canadian soldiers,
Colomby Manor (private): an 18th century manor house, it was, during the German occupation, the seat of a Kommandantur.

The church of Saint-Martin in Colomby-Anguerny, taken from the street, is bathed in a soft yellow light that brings out the ochre colour of the old stones. On the left is the stone wall of an old house, and in the background, behind the cemetery walls, you can see the apse and nave of the church, as well as the bell tower, which is slightly off-centre. The church has no transept. - credit Gregory Wait — credits : Gregory Wait, Brigite Haize, Christelle Hudson
