a piece of history

The church of Ardouval is a charming religious building nestled in the heart of the Normandy countryside. Founded by the monks of the Abbey of Bonport in Pont-de-l'Arche, it was ravaged by a fire in 1732. Despite a reconstruction, at the beginning of the 19th century it was on the verge of ruin. It was in 1806 that Mr Auvray and Mr Legris undertook a real rebuilding of the church. Then, in 1876 and 1881, major work on the framework and roof repairs were carried out.

At this point, you straddle the Béthune. This river has its source in the town of Gaillefontaine at an altitude of 205m. After a journey of 65 km, it joins the Varenne then the Eaulne at Arques-la-Bataille where their confluence creates the Arques.

Close to the Côte d'Albâtre on the Cauchois plateau, the commune of Grandes Ventes is a friendly town where you will find local shops and something to eat. It has, on the Town Hall Square, a monument that is original to say the least, labeled “Rural Heritage” in 2021. The Garnier Cistern brings out a current concern from the past: that of the importance of water.

A first chapel was built in 1263. It was then transformed into a church in the 15th century. A bell tower completed the current building in the 17th century. This church, named Notre-Dame, is built from local sandstone, coming from Val au Grès. The imposing building has a narthex, unique in the region, under which a terracotta plaque indicates the date of consecration of the place (1482). It also houses a polychrome stone virgin and child from the 16th century and the coat of arms of the lords of Heuze, painted on the walls of the nave and choir.

Take a close look at the bell tower with three upturned drains, it may remind you of an Italian tower! The foundation of the church dates back to 1560, under Jean Dubusc, parish priest of Quillebeuf. The church once had the rank of chapel. The current appearance of the church dates back to the 17th century but several stained glass windows date back to the 16th century. The sacristy was built in the 19th century and its porch in the 20th century, as was the monumental cross.
