Origin and history

The Logis Farm, located in Bourgtheronde-Infreville in the department of Eure (Normandy), is an emblematic 17th century monument. This site, classified Historic Monument, is distinguished by its preserved architectural elements, including a dovecote, the west gable of the barn and a stone well. These components, inscribed by ministerial decree in 1965, demonstrate the heritage importance of the site and its role in local agricultural history.

The location of the Logis Farm, at 2 Place Jacques Rafin, is documented in the Mérimée base, with a geographical accuracy deemed satisfactory. The site, integrated into the commune of Grand Bourgtheronde, reflects the constructive and social practices of rural Normandy in the seventeenth century, a period marked by the development of farms and utility buildings.

Available sources, including Monumentum, highlight the historical value of the site, while mentioning its potential for contemporary use (visits, room rental, accommodation). However, details of these services are not explicitly specified in the data consulted, leaving room for questions about its current accessibility.

The Norman context of the seventeenth century was characterized by a largely agricultural economy, where farms like Logis played a central role in the production and storage of resources. These buildings, often with dovecotes, also symbolized a social status, reserved for lords or prosperous farms. Their preservation today offers a concrete overview of this rural heritage.

The partial listing of the site in 1965 (colombier, barn, well) underscores the official recognition of its architectural and historical value. This partial classification, typical of agricultural monuments, aims to protect the most representative elements, while allowing other parties to adapt to modern needs.

Finally, the photographic credits associated with the Logis Farm, under Creative Commons license, illustrate the contemporary interest in this heritage. The contributions of photographers such as isamiga76 and Markus3 (Marc ROUSSEL) contribute to its visual documentation and dissemination to the public.
