The Protestant history in the heart of the countryside Several local noblemen adopted the reformed religion in the middle of the XVII century. The Protestant history of the local area started around 1553. The first temple was constructed in 1610 at the Chêne Guérin and a cemetery was created nearby in 1612. The temple was destroyed and stopped by King Louis XIV in 1679 and served as a quarry for the bell housing of the parish church in 1746. The hospitals of Torigni-sur-Vire and Villedieu-les-Poêles were as a result of this revenue. A second temple was constructed on the rectangular site of Neufbourg in 1817. Constructed with stone mullions and covered by a slate roof and lit by six large windows. A third temple started to be erected in 1847. This remained unachieved following the death of the Pasteur Sabatier, and the elevated costs. These two temples were restored in 2006 and 2010.

Our Lady of Hambye Abbey was founded in 1145 along the river Sienne by Guillaume Painel, lord of Hambye. The abbey hosts Benedictine monks until the French Revolution. Partly dismantled in the 19th century, the abbey was saved in 1956 through the acquisition of the monastic buildings by Mr and Mrs Beck. The abbey church, the gatehouse and the lay brothers’ building were bought by the County Council of la Manche in 1964. Considerable works to restore and stabilize the remains of the abbey were undertaken. For more than 50 years the aim has been to preserve the dignity and beauty of the site and to improve its integration into the serenity of its fragile natural surroundings. For a moment out of time, stroll through the monks’ old cloister at the foot of the church's imposing ruins, admire the fine architecture of the chapter house, jewel of norman gothic architecture and linger in the shade of Virginia tulip trees in the Eastern garden. Protected as sensitive natural areas, the surroundings of the abbey offer multiple hiking trails to discover. Throughout the summer, exhibitions and various workshops take place as well as concerts of medieval and sacred music.

The castle was built between 1613 and 1625, after the Edict of Nantes, by the Richiers, a family of protestant nobility. Built to be used both as a stronghold and as a place of leisure, its form follows that of late 16th-century manor houses. The main building is flanked by four corner pavilions, with three sides protected by a dry moat. The north side and the stone bridges date from 1756. The decorative elements of this otherwise austere and monumental castle are limited to the dormers of the pavilions, the stringcourses, and the use of polychromatic stones (red sandstone and granite). Inside, the most interesting features are the monumental staircase, the granite chimneys, the old parlour with its Louis XIII painted ceiling, the panelled sitting room, the large reception room, the old kitchen and the attics. The L-shaped farm which also dates from the 17th century, incorporates elements from earlier buildings. Other buildings (the stables, the orangery, the green houses) were constructed later. To the west and the north are the ruins of the 16th century castle and its lookout tower, along with a 200-year old plane tree, which overhangs an old fish pond that was formerly used as a millpond. During the Revolution, the last of the Richier family emigrated and the castle was declared “national property”. It was then bought in 1819 by Joseph Savary (born in Notre Dame de Cenilly and the ancestor of the castle’s current owners) and has been the site of the International Cultural Centre since 1952. The site is classified as a historic monument (Monument historique) "because of its architectural quality and its overall great consistency as the centre of culture and history, as well as that of modern thought".
