History

The fief of Troncq was acquired around 1514 by Gilles Le Cordier, shortly after his ennoblement. Remaining in the hands of the same family until 1742, the estate passed to the Savary family and was purchased in 1787 by the De La Haye. From 1890 to approximately 1925, the estate belonged to an industrialist from Elbeuf who carried out major restoration campaigns of the buildings (château), without however intervening significantly on the park. The whole comprises: - a brick and stone château of Louis XIII period, fitted with a return wing in the 18th century, restored and fitted with Neo-Louis XIII extensions before 1920. - an octagonal dovecote in brick and stone, built in the second half of the 16th century or at the beginning of the 17th century. - a park still enclosed by walls whose overall arrangement is well preserved, notably the layout of the copses which corresponds to old designs. various outbuildings erected or transformed in the 20th century.
