history

Giverville was first mentioned in 1025 as Gebberti villa , and 1050-1056 as Givardi villam (Fauroux 53). The place name is composed of a Germanic personal name and the place name ending -ville ( villa ).

In 1066, Guillaume Giroie, Seigneur of Montreuil-l'Argillé and Échauffour , gave Giverville (Guiardivilla) to the monastery of Sainte-Catherine du Mont (also called Sainte-Trinité du Mont ), which was in Rouen , which was destroyed in 1597 . This donation was signed by William the Conqueror (1027 / 28-1087) as a witness. In 1156 the donation was confirmed again in a bull by Pope Hadrian IV († 1159). Apart from this ecclesiastical feudal lord, there were subordinate secular feudal lords, the seigneurs of La Poterie . Mathieu de la Poterie was mentioned in a document in 1255 and 1304; in 1436 this fiefdom belonged to Georges de Huet. Pierre Pillon bought the fief in 1567. His father was an official of the Gabelle in Pont-Audemer, then an official of the forest administration of Montfort-sur-Risle and was ennobled in 1545. In 1580 Pierre Pillon became an advisor at the Cour des aides de Normandie and in 1585 he was allowed to change his name to de Giverville . After the dissolution of the Sainte-Catherine du Mont monastery in 1598, Giverville was given to the Carthusian monastery in Gaillon . Charles de Giverville therefore presented to the monastery in Gaillon in 1602. The nobility of his son Jean was confirmed in 1686, his wife was buried in the church choir in 1671 . In 1674, Louis de Giverville followed Henri de La Tour d'Auvergne, vicomte de Turenne (1611–1675), in the Dutch War (1672–1679). In 1767 the monastery sold all feudal rights to Louis de Giverville, whose son Jean-Louis († 1788) had today's castle built.

town hall

In 1793 Giverville received in the course of the French Revolution (1789-1799) the status of a municipality and in 1801 the right to local self-government . Jean-Louis son Armand de Giverville had to leave the country during the revolution, but got the castle back in 1803. The last de Giverville died in 1889.

During the Second World War (1939-1945), Giverville Castle was used as a base by the German occupiers. On the night of September 21-22, 1940, three explosive devices exploded near the castle. The German commander then arrested five residents of the village as hostages. Five other residents had to report to the castle every day. The residents were forbidden to leave the village for several days or to enter it between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. On August 24, 1944, Giverville was liberated by Canadian troops.

The present parish of Giverville is Catholic and belongs to the parish of Montgeoly in Montfort-sur-Risle.
