Brecourt Manor is a historic farmhouse located in Normandy, France. It gained fame during World War II as the site of a critical battle between American paratroopers from Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, and German forces on D-Day, June 6, 1944.
The Battle of Brecourt Manor was led by Lieutenant Richard Winters and his men, who successfully destroyed a German artillery battery that was threatening the Utah Beach landing zone. The strategic success of this battle played a crucial role in the success of the D-Day invasion.
Today, Brecourt Manor is a popular historical site for tourists and military history enthusiasts. The farmhouse still stands and is a private residence, but visitors can visit the surrounding fields and the site of the former German artillery battery. There are also memorials and information boards that recount the events of the battle.
