An ancient fortified residence, the HomHom is a Nordic word meaning “island in a swamp”. This is what we discover at the bend of a path on leaving Beaumont. The current manor is a beautiful architectural ensemble which replaced a very old residence built in the 11th century, at the same time as the feudal castle.Surrounded by a triple row of moats, two magnificent late 16th-early 17th century pavilions, in brick and white stone, covered with flat tiles, are reflected in the water. Long half-timbered buildings house the stables.Access to a central courtyard is via a vast porch. The property can only be seen from a path that leads to the Fontaine à Roger fish farm.Successive owners of the Hom de Beaumont le Roger
In 1420, the Hom belonged to Isabelle de Pommereuil who resisted the English invasion. As a result, she was dispossessed of her property.
After many successive owners, the manor was offered to Dupont de l'Eure. Since 1825 it has remained in the same family. Long the seat of stag hunts, it currently belongs to the descendants of the Duchess of Magenta.
