Gerberoy, Medieval commune in Oise, France
Gerberoy is a small commune in northern France featuring half-timbered houses arranged mainly along its main street. The village contains a network of maintained pathways connecting historical buildings throughout the settlement.
The village witnessed a major battle in winter 1078-1079 between William the Conqueror and his son Robert Curthose. This conflict left its mark on the region's history and remains connected to the place today.
Half-timbered houses line the streets and show traditional construction methods using wood, clay bricks, and flint stones. Walking through the village, you notice how this building style shapes the character of the place today.
The village is best explored on foot, as all significant buildings are accessible via the maintained pathways throughout the settlement. The best time to visit is between May and September when the museum building opens to visitors.
Despite having only 82 residents, the village maintains an extensive network of grass-lined pathways that wind through the entire settlement. These quiet paths create an unexpected infrastructure for a place this small.
