Origin and history

Gennes Manor House, located in the commune of Gennes-Ivergny (Pas-de-Calais), is a building dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries. This monument illustrates the residential architecture of this period, marked by social and economic transformations in the region. Its facades and roofs, listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments by decree of 10 November 1976, testify to its local heritage importance.

In modern times, manor houses such as Gennes were often used as residences for wealthy families or local notables, playing a central role in the social and agricultural organization of the countryside. In the Hauts-de-France, this period was marked by the development of rural activities, the emergence of villages structured around lords or landowners, and an architecture reflecting these hierarchies. The manor house, by its conservation, offers today an overview of this built heritage and its integration into the regional historical landscape.

The location of the mansion, specified as "a priori satisfactory" (level 6/10), places the building at the approximate address of the 13 Route de Berck, in a rural setting characteristic of the Pas-de-Calais. Although the available sources (Monumentum, Merimée base) do not detail its current use, its inscription under the title of Historical Monuments in 1976 underscores its architectural value and the desire to preserve this testimony of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
