Culture and History
The Motte féodale is a remnant of a fortified castle and was the seat of the fief of Curcy; it lies east of the church next to the cemetery. The Motte de Curcy has an oval shape and was divided at its top into two enclosures; the bailey lay east of the keep.
The Château du Bas-Martinbosq dates from the 17th century. Curcy-sur-Orne has been inhabited since the Paleolithic period. Numerous prehistoric tools found in the area overlooking the Orne Valley provide evidence of this. The Château de Cropton features structural elements from the 17th and 19th centuries.
The Chapelle de la Métairie is a 19th-century chapel at a crossroads; it replaced a stone cross called the “croix de la métairie”, which has since disappeared. A 17th-century statue of the Virgin Mary with Child hangs above the entrance to the Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste.
A substantial farm formerly belonging to the Château de Martinbosq served as a German hospital during the Second World War.
