Origin and history

The Hom mansion is an emblematic building of Beaumont-le-Roger, in the Eure, built between the end of the 16th century and the first half of the 17th century. It replaces an old 11th century residence, contemporary of the local feudal castle. This site, surrounded by moat, reflects the typical architecture of Norman manors, with walls made of flint and cut stone, as well as partially preserved pavilions. Its rural environment, preserved, includes meadows and wooded hillsides, although crossed by a modern railway.

The mansion is associated with several historical figures. In 1420, Isabelle de Pommereuil, owner of the premises, resisted the English before being dispossessed. The current construction would be attributed to the Avoise family. In the 19th century, the site was acquired by the Duchess of Magenta, and remains today in her progeny. The commons, ancient stables surrounded by moat, complete the architectural complex, accessible by an imposing porch.

The manor house and its outbuildings (courtyard, moat, facades, roofs of the north and west pavilions, former chapel and commons) were included in the inventory of historical monuments on 7 September 1989. This classification protects both an architectural and a landscape heritage, marked by a Scandinavian toponymy (holmr, meaning "island" or "waterfront meadow"), highlighting its historic anchoring in the region.

The site, although partially in ruins, retains remarkable elements such as a log house with wooden panels and pediment dormers. Its relative isolation, far from the city centre, and its location in the Risle valley make it a preserved testimony of Norman rural history, between medieval heritage and transformations of the 16th-17th centuries.

The property, visible from the rue du Hom, is today a private place, still owned by the descendants of the Duchess of Magenta. Its history reflects the social and architectural changes of Normandy, from its feudal role to its inscription as a protected heritage.
