History
A manor was built at the end of the 15th century by Guillaume de Mallevouë, knight and lord of the manors of Saint-Germain and Notre-Dame-d'Aulnay. All that is left is the lodge and a bartizan. The majority of the manor was destroyed by the French Catholic League in 1589 and was replaced by a half-timbered building.[3]
In 1822, Saint-Germain-d'Aunay (377 inhabitants in 1821)[4] absorbed Notre-Dame-d'Aunay (123 inhabitants),[5] further to its south. Both villages are shown on the Cassini map of the area.[6]
