Origin and history

The Château de la Petite-Heuze is a 17th-century residence in the commune of Grandes-Ventes, Seine-Maritime, Normandy. Built around 1620 by the family Le Cordier du Troncq, from the Rouennais parliamentarians, it features a classic brick and stone architecture, with a stone-damier base of flint and sandstone dating back to the 16th century. Its facades are decorated with varnished crucifixes, and it is surmounted by a roof profiled in braid. The castle also preserves a 16th century vaulted cellar and a wrought iron staircase.

The castle was renovated in the 18th century by a younger branch of the Marquis de La Londe. His name comes from Robert de La Heuze, provost of Paris. The building is fully protected as historical monuments: registered in 2012 for its enclosure, parcels and communes, then classified in 2018 for its home. The structure, contemporary construction and Philibert Delorme type, is particularly remarkable with its thirty complete farms.

Private property, the castle is close to the Paris road, away from the village. It embodies the Norman aristocratic architecture of the seventeenth century, mixing local tradition and classical influences. Sources also mention bibliographical references, such as the works by Philippe Seydoux and the Heritage of the Communes of the Seine-Maritime, which detail its history and architectural characteristics.
