Origin and history
The Manor or Monastery, located in Henuville, Normandy, is a 17th century property. The main house was built in the first half of this century, while the dovecote bears the precise date of 1632. This monument is representative of the rural architecture of the period, combining residential and agricultural functions.
The site is associated with Abbé Legendre, intendant of the gardens of Louis XIII, who occupied the adjacent presbytery. This connection with the royal court underlines the local importance of the place. The property was listed as a Historic Monument by order of May 5, 1934, recognizing its heritage value.
Today, the Manor or Monastery belongs to the town of Henuville. Although practical information on current visits or uses (rent, guest rooms) is not specified in the sources, its protected status guarantees its preservation for future generations.
