Château de Giverville

En un regard

Le château en bref

Château de Giverville stands in the commune of the same name, in the Eure. It was built around 1775 by Jean Louis Armand Pillon de Gerville, on land bought from the Carthusians of Gaillon; according to tradition, some of the materials came from the château de Courbépine, at Plasnes. The building combines brick and stone in a neoclassical composition. The site is also the cradle of the Norman family de Giverville, whose name is attested as early as 1025. In 1920, the estate passed to the mother of the minister Maurice Petsche. The Caisse d'allocations familiales of the Pas-de-Calais later acquired it and set up a children's home there, which remained open until 1984. The château and its park have been listed as a site inscrit since 1946.
