The population decline in the first half of the 20th century is due to the increasing mechanization of agriculture . Because of its proximity to the greater Paris area, the population has increased again since the 1990s.

economy

In earlier centuries the inhabitants lived on the produce of their fields and gardens as self-sufficient ; cattle breeding was also carried out on a small scale. Agriculture and retail trade continue to play a major role in the community's economic life. Some houses are designated as holiday homes ( gîtes ).

In the Middle Ages, the parish of Frouville belonged to Beaumont , then to Clermont and the diocese of Beauvais , which it remained until the French Revolution .

Attractions

Nave to the east

Of the old Romanesque parish church of Saint-Martin only the bell tower on the south side remains; the remaining components were added in the Gothic style between 1220 and 1240 - the late Gothic south apse was built later (around 1300). Only the eastern parts of the church are vaulted; the nave and the two aisles , on the other hand, have wooden roof trusses , but the side aisles are clad and plastered. The change of supports in the nave and the round windows in the tall nave wall are remarkable and unusual . Church construction has been recognized as a monument historique since 1925 . Some items of equipment (grave slabs, figures, etc.) from the 15th to 19th centuries are separately protected
The Château de Saint-Cyran , used as a horticultural school, is about 500 m from the village. The 17th century building was completely restored and partially redesigned around 1880; it has been a listed building since 1978.
