Origin and history

Le Manoir du Grand-Feugueray is a 17th century mansion located in the commune of Saint-Germain-la-Campagne, in the department of Eure, Normandy. Built around 1630, it embodies the typical architecture of the Louis XIII era, with a pink brick façade decorated with dark crucifixes and white stone chains. This style reflects the influence of the aristocratic constructions of the first half of the seventeenth century, combining elegance and robustness.

The mansion was erected by Charles Belleau, a character whose name remains associated with its foundation. Although the details of his life or social status are not specified in the sources, his initiative demonstrates the importance of local gentlemen in building seignant residences in Normandy at this time. The building, partially listed as a historical monument since 1973, illustrates the rural architectural heritage of the region.

The protected elements of the mansion, namely its facades and roofs, were officially recognized by a decree of 21 November 1973. This protection highlights the heritage value of the site, while highlighting its outstanding conservation status. The manor house is located near the Saint-Germain church, about 2.3 km north, suggesting a strategic settlement in the local landscape.

No information is available on the current use of the manor house (visits, rental, accommodation), but its presence in databases such as Mérimée and Monumentum confirms its status as a referenced historical monument. Sources also indicate an approximate location at the place known as Le Grand Bus, without further details on its accessibility or current condition.
