Architecture
Architectural description from the regional heritage survey, in French:
Le manoir du Bourdonnel est implanté en hauteur. Il a conservé son logis et une partie de ses dépendances. Le logis conservé actuellement date du XVIIIe siècle, il est venu remplacer un bâtiment plus ancien. Crépis et couvert d'ardoise sur un toit à quatre pans, il s'élève sur un rez-de-chaussée, un étage et un niveau de combles. Sa façade principale, orientée au sud, est ordonnancée en huit travées. Au rez-de-chaussée on trouve deux portes-fenêtres sur la troisième et la sixième travées. Toutes les fenêtres sont semblables : de forme rectangulaire et assez larges, elles sont munies d'un chanfrein à angle droit. Cinq lucarnes percent le niveau de comble. A l'arrière se trouvent des adjonctions. Les dépendances en retour d'équerre du logis qui figurent sur le cadastre napoléonien ont aujourd'hui disparu. Au nord du logis se trouvent des bâtiments de ferme qui appartenaient au manoir, comme l'atteste le cadastre napoléonien.A l'est du logis une parcelle carrée et ceinturée de murs, toujours visibles aujourd'hui, marque l'emplacement du jardin. A proximité se trouve un ensemble constitué d'une fontaine, d'un lavoir et d'un routoir circulaire. Aucune documentation ne permet de rattacher cet ensemble au site manorial, cependant la proximité de ceux-ci permet d'en émettre l'hypothèse.
