history
Archaeological finds from the Neolithic to the Middle Ages
There are thirteen archaeological sites in the municipality . In 1991 traces of settlement in the Neolithic Age were found near the hamlet of Le Marché Neuf . Before the creation of the Autoroute A28 , preventive archaeological investigations were carried out in 2003 in the lieu-dit ('place that is named ...') le Beuron . The remains of several buildings from the 4th to 3rd centuries BC were found in plot ZB25. Found ( Latène period ). Traces of a settlement from the 1st to 3rd centuries ( Gallo-Roman times ) were found in plot ZB15 . The remains of the buildings indicate an agricultural use.
In Gallo-Roman times, a Roman road led from Lisieux (Noviomagus Lexovii) via Le Marché Neuf to Brionne (Breviodurum) and from Brionne via Broglie to Saint-Évroult . This street is now used as a departmental street (D 438). In the western part of the forest of Plasnes, during archaeological excavations on an area of 81 ares, wall remains and trenches of a Roman military camp were found. In the lieu-dit Les Tuileries , Le Métayer-Masselin, an archaeologist from Bernay , found the remains of a villa rustica in 1856 , the ruins of which were later used as a necropolis . Les Tuileries means 'the brickworks '. The villa was about 30 meters long. Le Métayer-Masselin also found the remains of thermal baths : frigidarium (cold bath room), tepidarium (warm room), caldarium (hot bath room ) with swimming pool and sudatorium (steam sweat bath ). The walls were made of flint and brick . Stone formed the corners. The walls were plastered and painted in red, yellow and white. Some of the potsherds wore markings: CVRIVS , CELSI M and SECVNDI F . The markings of the potters CELSVS and SECVNDVS are known from finds from La Graufesenque . Le Métayer-Masselin also found a sesterce from the reign of Marcus Aurelius (139–180) and a bronze strigilis .
The necropolis was probably established in the Middle Ages . Four or six skeletons lay over the stone slabs of the caldarium between walls of flint. Their heads were turned to the east. Outside the thermal baths there were at least six other graves.
Seigneurie and Marquisate
The place name is derived from the word " plane trees " and was first mentioned in a document in the 12th century.
According to Ordericus Vitalis (1075–1142) one of the castles of Robert of Bellême, 3rd Earl of Shrewsbury , is said to have been in Plasnes (Sanctus Remigius de Planis) around 1098 . A Seigneur de Plasnes is said to have participated in the First Crusade (1096-1099). Ordericus Vitalis also mentioned a Roger de Plasnes to whom the castle of Notre-Dame-du-Hamel was subordinated in 1139 . Matthew Paris (1200–1259) reported the death of Rogers de Plasnes in 1191. In 1207 a Robertus de Platano testified to a contract between the Abbey l'Isle-Dieu in Perruel and the Abbey of Les Préaux . In the 13th century, the Plasnes Seigneurie came into the possession of the Malet family through marriage. Guillaume IV. Malet de Graville (mentioned around 1250) married Ameline de Plasnes. Around 1320 Jeanne Malet brought the Seigneurie into the Auricher family through marriage.
In the 15th century, Plasnes and the forest of Plasnes belonged to Pierre de Brézé (1412–1465), at that time the church patronage was divided. In 1492 the Benedictine monastery of Saint-Taurin in Évreux renounced the church patronage of Plasnes in favor of the bishop . The bishop was also allowed to appoint the staff of the Hermitage Saint-Agapit in the forest of Plasnes.
In 1613 the last duc of Grancey-le-Château-Neuvelle , Guillaume de Hautemer, died and left the lands of Fervaques and Plasnes to his daughter Louise . Louise de Hautemer married Aymar de Prie, marquis de Toucy . He was succeeded as Seigneur François de Prie, baron de Plasnes, followed by Aymar-Antoine de Prie, who was Maréchal de camp . He died in 1714 and was buried in the parish church in Plasnes.
Louis de Prie was born in Plasnes in 1673. He became Mestre de camp and was captured by the British during the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714). He returned from there in 1707 and was godfather of Louis XV in 1710 . and married Jeanne-Agnès Berthelot de Pléneuf in 1713 . He bought the Courbépine castle for himself and his young wife . Until 1719 he went to Turin as envoy . Upon his return, his wife became mistress of Louis IV. Henri de Bourbon, prince de Condé , who was Prime Minister from 1723 to 1726 . In 1724 the Seigneurien of Plasnes and Courbépine were elevated to the status of marquisate under the name Plasnes . Jeanne-Agnès Berthelot de Pléneuf died in Courbépine castle in 1727 and was buried there. In 1744 Louis de Prie remarried, in 1751 he died childless and his brother François-Léonor († 1765) became Marquis of Plasnes. This was followed by Louis II. De Prie, who gambled away all his money and therefore transferred his property in Courbépine and Plasnes to a creditor in 1777 for the equivalent of 500,000 livres . The creditor sold Plasnes towards the end of the Ancien Régime to the President of the Court of Auditors in Rouen, Jacques-Pierre-Amable Chrestien de Fumechon.

coat of arms
The two golden plane leaves in the municipal coat of arms indicate the origin of the place name. The metallic color gold is displayed in yellow in the tinging . The green background of the escutcheon symbolizes nature, the forest. The golden clasps at the bottom are reminiscent of the Malet family who owned the town in the 13th and 14th centuries. Her coat of arms was red with three gold clasps. The chapel in the middle of the shield is reminiscent of the Hermitage Saint-Agapit. The silver horizontal stripes symbolize the two departmental roads from Rouen to Alençon (D438) and from Évreux to Lisieux (D613), which already existed in a similar form in Gallo-Roman times. The metallic color silver is displayed in white in the tinging. A masonry crown hovers over the coat of arms (missing from the coat of arms above), reminiscent of the castle of the Seigneurs de Plasnes . On the right side of the coat of arms is a sheaf of wheat and on the left an oak branch (missing from the coat of arms above), which symbolize the division of the municipality into agricultural land and forest.

Plasnes has several Chaumières and other half-timbered houses from the 17th to 19th centuries, as well as three mansions from the 16th and 17th centuries and two small castles from the 18th to 20th centuries. La Vallée Castle was built in the 19th century.
The Petit Château ('little castle') in Plasnes was built as a hunting lodge on the foundations of a castle in the 18th century . The writer Jean de La Varende (1887–1959) wrote about the building that it was a “charming little thing” with “splendid, salmon-red plaster”. The castle stands on an artificially created hill, which is divided into several terraces on the south side. The park ends in front of a rectangular pond. The end burned in 1770 and was only in ruins when it was sold in 1939. The new owner had the building and the park restored using preserved parts and added two side pavilions . The small castle is entered in the additional directory of the Monuments historiques ('historical monuments'). In the stairwell there is still a ceiling painting with the coat of arms of the de Prie family .
