La Chapelle-Réanville is a commune Déléguée in the French commune of La Chapelle-Longueville with 1,112 inhabitants (as of January 1 2017) in the Eure in the region of Normandy .

geography

La Chapelle-Réanville is located on the European route 5 on a plain between the river Eure and the Seine , 43 kilometers southeast of Rouen , about 23 kilometers from Évreux and 8 kilometers northwest of Vernon . The municipality was created in 1844 from the merger of the villages of La Chapelle-Genevray and Réanville, between which the Saint-Ouen brook flows. The hamlet of Froc de Launay belongs to the municipality.

history

Tools from the Neolithic Age were discovered in the municipality . The flint pick and scraper are now in the Musée d'archéologie nationale in the Saint-Germain-en-Laye castle . On aerial photographs from the 1990s an old fence can be seen, but which is not yet dated. The building can not be dated without prospecting . Such finds mostly come from Gallo-Roman times, but they can also come from the Iron Age or the Middle Ages.

In the Middle Ages and Ancien Régime , there were three fiefdoms in what is now the municipality, Réanville , Le Froc-de-Launay and La Chapelle-Genevray .

Réanville

1026 confirmed Richard II, Duke of Normandy (966-1027), the donation of the village of Réanville by Duke William I († 942) to the Abbey of Saint-Ouen in Rouen or its subsidiary, the Priorei de la Grace in Saint-Pierre -de-Bailleul . Réanville Regionvilla was named in the document . Even if the place name Regionvilla looks Latin , it is derived from the Franconian name Reginon or Raganus . Villa is really Latin, however, meaning "country estate" and appears as ville in many French place names.

Le Froc-de-Launay and La Chappelle-Genevray

The fief of Le Froc-de-Launay belonged to the Estimauville family at the beginning of the 16th century. At the end of the 16th century it fell to the Grimouville family. From the 17th century until the French Revolution (1789–1799) it belonged to the Langlois du Roule family. In 1790 the last seigneur of Le Froc-de-Launay became Maire (Mayor) of La Chapelle-Genevray. The La Chappelle-Genevray fiefdom belonged to the Jumièges Abbey until the French Revolution .

With effect from January 1, 2017, the former municipalities of Saint-Pierre-d'Autils , La Chapelle-Réanville and Saint-Just were merged into a commune nouvelle called La Chapelle-Longueville. The municipality of La Chapelle-Réanville belonged to the canton of Pacy-sur-Eure and the municipal association Portes de l'Eure (CAPE) .

Attractions

Notre-Dame church

The parish church of Notre-Dame in the district of La Chapelle-Genevray dates from the end of the 15th or beginning of the 16th century. On the south wall you can even see a Romanesque entrance portal from the 12th century, which comes from an older church or other older building. The choir was restored between 1902 and 1905 . The original cemetery that surrounded the church has been leveled and is now used as a schoolyard.

It is unknown when the former parish church of Saint-Barthélémy in the Réanville district was built, but the choir is dated 1668 due to its restoration. In 1793, during the Revolution, the building was no longer used as a church and converted into a school by the community. In 1840 a stone statue of the Apostle Bartholomew from the 15th or 16th century was sold and placed in the gable of another house. In 1845 the church was finally sold. Your altarpiece is now in the Notre-Dame church. A farm was built next to the church using building materials from the church walls. It carries the steeple cock in a gable.

In the hamlet of Froc de Launay is the neo-classical castle Château de Launay (also Château du Froc de Launay ). It dates from the 18th century. Two side wings were added in the 19th century. In 1920 the castle was restored under the direction of the architect Charles-Henri Besnard. It is privately owned. Château de Launay is not a rare name for a castle in France, there are castles of the same name in Saint-Georges-du-Vièvre and Villiers-le-Mahieu ( Launay Castle ).

There is still an old wash house at the castle .
