Origin and history
Le Manoir du Bois-Baril is a building located in the commune of La Barre-en-Ouche, in the department of Eure, Normandy. This monument has been included in the inventory of Historical Monuments since 1939, with the exception of its dovecote, which was classified in 1942. These successive protections reflect its heritage interest, although specific architectural or historical details are not mentioned in the available sources.
Manor houses, typical of the Norman landscape, often played a central role in the medieval and modern rural organization. They served as residences for local lords or landowners, while sheltering agricultural or artisanal activities. In the case of the Bois-Baril, the inclusion of a dovecote – an element often reserved for the nobility under the Old Regime – suggests a seigneurial origin or a symbolic function linked to the social status of its owners.
No additional information is available on its specific history or occupants.
