history

Neolithic to Gallo-Roman times

Stone axes from the Neolithic Age and Celtic axes were found in the municipality in the 19th century . There are also remains of a square fort , about 72 meters on a side, which dates from the Gallo-Roman period (52 BC to 486 AD). The construction is called Vieux-Château ('old castle') or Fort Bannis ('fort of the exiles'). At that time, a branch of a large Roman road, mentioned in the Antonini Itinerarium , ran through the easternmost tip of the municipality . The branch led from Harfleur (Caracotinum) via Caudebec-en-Caux (Lotum) to Lisieux (Noviomagus) .

middle Ages

In the 10th century, peat was given the land around Pont-Audemer as a fief , including Corneville-sur-Risle. Peat is considered to be the ancestor of the Harcourt family . After Torf's death, his second son Turold received Pont-Audemer and Corneville-sur-Risle. Then the fief fell to Onfroi de Vieilles († around 1050). In the document in which Onfroi donated two watermills in Corneville-sur-Risle to the women's monastery of Saint-Léger de Préaux in Les Préaux , the community was mentioned for the first time. There were numerous watermills, which in the Middle Ages belonged mainly to different abbeys that rented them out. Accordingly, one of the medieval fiefs was called Neuf-Moulins ('nine mills').

In the hamlet of Aptuy there was the so-called Fort d'Harcourt , a round mound of earth 25 meters in diameter with the foundation walls of a donjon from the 12th century and a protective wall. In 1830 stones from this construction were still being used to build houses. This system can be seen well on aerial photographs from the 1990s.

In the 11th century a family called de Corneville administered the Corneville fiefdom, which was subordinate to Pont-Audemer. Around 1143, Gilbert, seigneur de Corneville, founded the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Corneville (' Our Lady ') for the Augustinian Canons of Saint-Vincent-des-Bois . These Augustinians followed the Congrégation de France and were called Génovéfains (' Genovevans ') after the abbey of Sainte-Geneviève de Paris . Notre-Dame de Corneville remained the only Genovevan abbey in Upper Normandy. The Corneville fiefdom was now under the control of the abbey. Around 1180 there were already several seigneuries in the village and one of the city gates of Pont-Audemer was called Porte de Corneville. In: the years 1256, 1560 and 1567 Eudes Rigaud (1200–1275) visited the abbey to investigate compliance with the monastic rules.

In 1308, the Le Bec Abbey in Le Bec-Hellouin exchanged lands with King Philip IV (1268-1314) and received, among other things, the lower jurisdiction for Corneville-sur-Risle. In 1420 the abbot paid homage to the English King Henry V in the Hundred Years War (1337-1453) . He received the previously stolen goods back.

Ancien Régime

In the 17th century there was a family called de Corneville , who did not manage Corneville, but a small fief called La Massue. Other important fiefs in the Ancien Régime (late 16th century to 1789) were Aptuy ( Appetuit in the Middle Ages ), Petit Fief de Saint-Mards (owned by the Seigneurs of Saint-Mards-sur-Risle ) and Saint-Laurent . There was a chapel in Saint-Laurent that belonged to Corneville Abbey.

Under the direction of the abbot and royal almsman Louis Desmé de La Chesnaye, the Notre-Dame de Corneville monastery was restored and reformed in the second half of the 17th century. Instead of the Augustinian now inhabited Maurists the abbey.

In 1692, Louis XIV (1638–1715) reformed the office of mayor in cities throughout the kingdom. The senior councilor of Rouen after the reform in 1692 was Claude Boutren, seigneur de Corneville. He therefore also took on the role of mayor. From 1710 to 1713 Jean-Baptiste Guillot de la Houssaye, seigneur de Corneville, was Mayor of Rouen. Around 1716 or 1718 Jacques-Étienne de la Rue came into the possession of Corneville-La-Massue. He became Mayor of Rouen in 1728. His family was still in possession of the fief in 1776. The last Seigneur von Corneville before the French Revolution (1789-1799), however, was Claude-Louis-Aimable Carrel de Thibouville , who in 1788 was still alive. The last abbot before the revolution was François Berros de Gamanson. In its day, the monastery still owned 333 acres of land. Over the years, an acre was between 30 and 60 ares in size, so pre-revolution land holdings were about a tenth of what is now the parish.

After the French Revolution

Church and Monument to the Fallen

In 1793 Corneville-sur-Risle received in the course of the French Revolution under the name Corneville the status of a municipality and 1801 through the administrative reform under Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) again under the name Corneville the right to local self-government .

The war memorial commemorates the soldiers from Corneville-sur-Risle who died in the First World War (1914–1918).

During the Second World War (1939-1945) Corneville-sur-Risle was bombed by the Allied Air Force between June 6 and July 10, 1944 during Operation Overlord . On June 29, 1944, a Royal Canadian Air Force pilot died in the community. He was buried in the cemetery. In August 1944, the community was through the I Corps of the British Army liberated.

Culture and sights

Notre-Dame de Corneville Abbey

The Notre-Dame church

The abbey was founded around 1143 and restored and expanded in the 17th century. Only a few elements of the monastery buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries have been preserved, mainly the south and east wings of the cloister . These parts of the building were entered in the supplementary directory of the Monuments historiques in 1992. The north wing of the cloister disappeared after 1736. The present mansion was once the home of the monks and was built towards the end of the 17th century using parts from the original building. In the 19th century the building was rebuilt to give it a more " bourgeois " character. Parts of the old monastery buildings were again destroyed, for example the vaulted connections between the manor house and the south wing of the cloister and the infirmarium . Inside the manor house, the ceilings were lowered. The manor house and infirmarium are privately owned. The abbey church was built in the 12th century and rebuilt in the 16th century. Particularly noteworthy is the turret above the stairs to the bell tower. Corneville-sur-Risle belongs to the Roman Catholic community Communauté de l'Abbaye Saint-Nicolas , which is part of the parish Notre-Dame Risle Seine of the diocese of Evreux .

The bells of Corneville

The Hotel Les Cloches de Corneville

The local legend of the Cloches de Corneville ('Bells of Corneville') takes place in the Hundred Years War and is based on the events around 1420. English troops looted the monastery and stowed the stolen valuables and the largest of the 13 church bells of the monastic carillon in a boat on the Risle in order to be able to transport them more easily to their warehouse. The bell was too heavy and capsized the boat. The bell sank into the risle. When the twelve remaining bells of the abbey were rung, the thirteenth bell rang in the river with the others.

Robert Planquette wrote the operetta Les Cloches de Corneville , which premiered in 1877. The libretto written Louis François Clairsville (1811-1879) and Charles Gabet (1821-1904). The operetta is not about an attack on the abbey, but other elements of the legend have been adopted. Corneville-sur-Risle became famous for this operetta.

Around 1900, the then Marquis de la Rochethulon decided to create a carillon from twelve bells. In 1907, a newly built hotel was therefore named after the operetta. The building has a small bell tower with twelve bells, financed by international donors and named after the donors' places of origin: la Normande (Normandy), la Canadienne ( Canada ), la Danoise ( Denmark ), la Russe ( Russia ), la Suédoise-Norvégienne ( Sweden and Norway ), l'Américaine ( United States ), l'Algérienne ( Algeria ), l'Anglaise ( England ), la Savoie ( Savoy ), la Sainte-Germaine (maiden name of the Marquis's wife), l'Auvergne ( Auvergne ) and la Crétoise ( Crete ). The building was entered in the supplementary directory of the Monuments historiques in 2003.

The main street in Corneville-sur-Risle was named avenue Robert Planquette in honor of Planquette . There is also a rue du Carillon and a rue de l'Opérette .
