Heritage classified

Origin and history

The farm located in Surville, in the department of Eure (region Normandy), dates from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This monument is representative of the rural architecture of this period, marked by traditional construction techniques and a spatial organization adapted to the agricultural activities of the period. The facades and roofs of the residential building were inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 30 July 1951, highlighting their heritage value and preservation for future generations.

At that time, in Normandy, farms played a central role in the local economy, often organized around cereal cultivation, livestock farming and dairy production. These buildings also reflected the social hierarchy, with separate spaces for owners, farmers or farm workers. The partial protection of this farm in 1951 reflects the interest in this rural heritage, often less emphasized than castles or churches, but equally essential to understand the way of life and the history of the French countryside.

The location of the farm, at 88 Rue Bernard Petel in Surville, is known with an accuracy considered fair (note of 5/10 according to the Mérimée base). This level of geographic detail allows the monument to be located in its immediate environment, although uncertainties remain as to the accuracy of the coordinates. The official administrative address, associated with Code Insee 27624, confirms its anchoring in the commune of Surville, in the borough of Évreux.

No historical character or specific event related to this farm is mentioned in the available sources. Its inscription under the title of Historical Monuments is limited to the architectural elements of the dwelling building (cadastre B 14), without precision on possible transformations or special uses over the centuries. The data come mainly from the Monumentum database and internal archives, without reference to local archives or in-depth studies.
