Origin and history
The Château de Saint-Victor, located in Ancreiéville-Saint-Victor in Seine-Maritime, was built around 1730, probably replacing earlier buildings on the land of Saint-Victor-la-Campagne, attested for centuries. This 18th century castle, renovated in the 19th century, preserves remarkable architectural elements such as oak woodwork, appointed cellars (ovens, laundry) and a double-framed dovecote, now transformed into a museum of agricultural tools. Its park, originally regular, was redesigned in landscape style around 1830, reflecting the evolution of aristocratic tastes.
The estate also includes a farm dating back to the second half of the eighteenth century, illustrating the economic organization of the major Norman estates. Ranked and inscribed in historical monuments between 1944 and 1993, the castle bears witness to local history, especially through protected elements such as the commons, the fence of the estate and the dovecote. Its architecture and interior design offer an overview of the domestic and social life of the provincial elite under the Old Regime and in the 19th century.
The commune of Ancreiéville-Saint-Victor, which emerged from the merger in 1823 of three villages including Saint-Victor-la-Campagne, houses this emblematic castle. The site, open to visit, allows to discover historical heating systems, horticultural tools and traces of past agricultural occupation. The castle is also linked to local figures, such as Monsieur de Saint-Victor, president of the Chambre des comptes de Rouen, arrested in 1792, stressing its anchor in the political upheavals of the Revolution.
