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.[2]

In 1822, Saint-Germain-d'Aunay (377 inhabitants in 1821)[3] absorbed Notre-Dame-d'Aunay (123 inhabitants),[4] further to its south. The Cassini map situates the former parish in the lieu-dit of Aunay actuel.[5]
