Ferme Hervieu

The Ferme Hervieu stands as a registered historic monument featuring a 19th-century château with brick and stone facades, complemented by a modern concrete livestock building constructed in the post-war period.

Originally built in the 19th century, the estate was transformed into an airfield by German forces during World War II, suffering extensive bombing damage before being purchased and restored by Robert Hervieu in 1948.

The property exemplifies the evolution of Norman agricultural architecture, combining Second Empire château design with innovative 20th-century farming structures that reflect France's agricultural modernization efforts.

The estate is protected under French heritage law since 2015, with the historic livestock building now serving as an exhibition space and venue for artistic activities while maintaining its agricultural heritage.

The farm features a revolutionary concrete livestock building known as 'l'Étable' that became internationally recognized for its innovative ventilation system and modern animal presentation facilities in post-war agriculture.
