Origin and history

The Manor House of Berville-sur-Mer, located in the eponymous commune of L'Eure in Normandy, dates from the 2nd quarter of the 18th century. This building, representative of the affluent rural architecture of the period, is distinguished by its facades and roofs, as well as by an adjacent dovecote. These elements, emblematic of the seigneurial or bourgeois houses of the region, have been preserved for their heritage value.

Ranked as a Historic Monument by order of 3 February 1971, the mansion enjoys special protection for its remarkable interior spaces: the living room, dining room and ground floor office, decorated with period woodwork. These decors, typical of the Louis XV style, illustrate the refinement of Norman interiors in the Enlightenment century. The official address registered at the Merimée base (27210 Berville-sur-Mer) confirms its anchoring in the local landscape, between land and estuary.

The location of the manor house, noted as "a priori satisfactory" (level 6/10), suggests an implantation still visible in the current urban fabric, although the sources do not specify its accessibility to the public. No mention is made of an opening to the visit, of a rental of space or tourist accommodation, suggesting a mainly residential or private vocation. The available data (Monumentum, Merimée database) focus on its architectural and legal characteristics, without mentioning its social history or past occupants.
