Older civil house of the region (built in the XVth and XVIth century). Private; It opens for visits during the Heritage Days which take place in September.
The building known today as the "Manoir de Vitanval" is, in all probability, the last vestige of the estate of Vitanval whose existence is attested from the twelfth century. In 1559, the estate still had the remains of a feudal mound, a fortified house with drawbridge and ditch, water and wind mills and a foot dovecote. It is in the first half of the fifteenth century that was built on the estate the current manor.
In this "castle of Vitanval" Messire Guyon du Voisin had the honor to host for a few hours, in 1563, the Queen-mother Catherine de Médecis and her son, the young king Charles IX at the end of the siege which allowed to resume Le Havre to the English. In 1877, there still remained a part of the ditches quarter circle, the last vestiges of the barnyard. The octagonal tower that can be seen today was added to the building in 1920. havrencartes.canalblog.com/archives/2018/03/09/36211427.html
