history
A Roman road led through Brétigny and the hamlet of La Vasserie on the eastern edge of the municipality . The name of the place means Britanicus , place of the Bretons , and is of Celtic origin .
In the 13th century the place was a fiefdom of the de Brétigny family. In the 14th century a branch of the du Bosc family received the fief. Guéroudin du Bosc was one of the twenty envoys from Rouen sent to Henry V of England to declare the surrender of Rouen. Jacques du Bosc sold the fiefdom in 1520 to Jean de Quintanadoine (1511–1550). His grandson Jean de Quintanadoine (1556–1634) became a priest and was better known under the name of Monsieur de Brétigny . He was one of the founders of the Carmel of Rouen. After his death, Brétigny remained in the family until the French Revolution (1789–1799).
Brétigny has had its own municipal administration since 1793 during the French Revolution. At that time it was still called Bretigny.
During the Second World War (1939-1945) Brétigny was bombed and large parts of the castle were destroyed in 1944. Only a large pavilion remained.

The Saint-Cyr-Sainte-Juliette church was built in the 12th century. It is dedicated to the martyr Cyrus of Tarsus († 304) and his mother . The masonry from the 12th century was reworked in the 17th and 18th centuries, and the bell tower also dates from this period. The church is listed in the supplementary directory of the Monuments historiques . On the outer west wall of the church there are remains of a liter funéraire (mourning ribbon). A faded coat of arms is drawn in a 40 centimeter square. Inside, the liter is better preserved. There are two coats of arms on the north wall of the nave and one on the south wall. The identical coats of arms are 50 centimeters high and 70 centimeters wide, they are provided with an oval shield over which the crown of a duc is drawn. It is the coat of arms of Louis-Charles de Guise-Lorraine (1725–1761), Prince of Lambesc and Comte of Brionne.

The Château de la Houssaye is now part of the municipality of Brétigny. In the Middle Ages it was a fiefdom that belonged to the de Pommereuil family. Nicolas de Pommereuil sold the fief together with manor and dovecote in 1569 to Guillaume Foucques. In 1637, however, it came into the possession of Marc-Antoine de Brévedent, whose son had the castle de la Houssaye built. The castle stairs are dated 1666 and bear the Brévedent coat of arms. In 1770 Marie-Catherine de Brévedent sold the Seigneurie . Around 1891 the owner at the time, Jean Guéroult, had the castle rebuilt and enlarged.
