Raimbourg farm

Situated in the heart of the village, this remarkable 3-hectare farmstead, owned by the local council since 1990, is a typical "clos masure" of the Pays de Caux. Featured on the 1826 Napoleonic land registry, its origins likely date back to the 17th century. The estate, comprising six main buildings, a pond, and a large enclosed courtyard planted with fruit trees, is surrounded by either flint and brick walls, quickset hedges, or earth banks planted with tall timber trees (beech and oak).

The main farmhouse, topped with a slate roof (renovated in 2008), stands in the centre of the farmyard at the end of a long driveway. This path leads to the barn and bread oven on one side, and the stables and henhouse (converted by the council in 2015 into group holiday accommodation) and the cider press on the other. The site also includes:

• A large kitchen garden, now a regular garden, located behind the house and partially enclosed by an old wall and hedge.

• A large meadow further back, formerly an apple orchard, now leased to horse owners.

• A cistern with a stone well-curb and antique mechanism.

• A small turret-shaped building on the left, which served as a wash-house.

• A kennel.

• A large pond.

• A planted courtyard.

• A boundary wall on one side made of brick and flint, along with entrance pillars.

• An apple crusher, purchased from an association in the Eure department.

The estate is known as "Ferme Raimbourg," named after the last family to tenant the farm since 1929, who worked there as farmers.

In 1990, driven by active community support, the local council purchased the property, "considering that this farmstead possesses a unique character regarding rural heritage."

The first urgent restoration projects undertaken were the bread oven and then the barn—two buildings central to the various festivals that bring the site to life. Simultaneously, a village association, "The Friends of Raimbourg Farm," was formed to "animate the farm through various events for the local population, with the aim of supporting the restoration of the farmstead."
