Origin and history
The mansion of Cany-Barville is a civil building built during the first half of the eighteenth century, typical of bourgeois residences of the time in Normandy. Located at 50 rue de Vittefleur (with an approximate GPS location at 4 Rue des Jardins), it embodies the refined domestic architecture of this period, marked by characteristic facades and roofs. The monument has been partially protected since 1988, with an inscription covering the facades, the roofs of the house body (not including the west), as well as the interior decorations of the dining room, living room and alcove room.
The legal protection specifically concerns the building elements by destination, i.e. the fixed decorations integrated into the structure, such as those of the main rooms on the ground floor. These provisions reflect the heritage value of interiors, often overlooked for the benefit of outsiders in classifications. The house, although not explicitly open to the public in the sources, could house activities such as visits, room rentals or guest rooms, common practices for private monuments preserved.
Cany-Barville, located in Seine-Maritime (76), in the former Haute-Normandie (now Normandy), was in modern times a dynamic village, linked to local agricultural and craft activities. The master houses played a central social role, sheltering the local elites (terranean nobility, enriched bourgeois) and serving as a reception place. Their preservation today reflects the evolution of lifestyles and domestic architecture under the Old Regime.
