A LITTLE HISTORY...

​The house was built around 1615 for Antoine de Rocquigny, the Lord of Roquefort. The facade and roof of this "gentilhommière" are under the Monuments Historiques (Historical Monuments of France) classification because of their typical characteristics of Caux architecture.
The south facade is made with bricks and sandstones, while the north wall is built with sandstone to face the wind and rain.
The house went through the history of the Pays de Caux. It originally belonged to the Rocquigny family and was owned by the Polignac family during the XVIIIth and XIXth centuries. During the Second World War, German soldiers occupied it. According to local legends, an underground tunnel connects the basement to the church, but we did not find it yet!
The inside volumes were changed and rearranged a few times. It used to be an agricultural building, then a house with narrow and small rooms before its current open spaces.
The previous owner carefully repaired the facade and the roof. We continue to take care of this beautiful manoir and try to give it back its family spirit!
