Town Hall ( Mairie )

Saint-Cyr-de-Salerne is a French municipality with 205 inhabitants (at January 1, 2017) in the Eure in the region of Normandy .

geography

Saint-Cyr-de-Salerne is located on the south-eastern edge of the Lieuvin between Hecmanville in the south and Saint-Pierre-de-Salerne in the north, 12 kilometers northeast of Bernay and 3.9 kilometers southwest of Brionne . Apart from the town center ( Bourg , postal: Le Village ), the hamlets and farms of La Gontière, Le Bocage, Les Bouteaux, Maroseaux, Le Puisnier, Le Mont Foucard, La Mare des Ifs, Le Bosc, La Fontelaye and Le Plessis also belong to the municipality .

In Saint-Cyr-de-Salerne there is a risk that Marnières , old marl pits , could cause a landslide . The 1.5 to 2 meters wide and several meters deep holes can be created, for example, after heavy rain; they are openings in the access shafts, the debris filling of which was washed into the side passages. The ceilings of the mining shafts can also collapse, creating wider holes. Landslides due to heavy rainfall occurred in the community in December 1999.

history

Old spellings of the place name are Salernia (in 1106), Sanctus Ciriens de Salerna (1216) and Sanctus Cyriens de Salerna (1293). The parish of Saint-Cyr-de-Salerne belonged to the Abbey of Saint-Pierre de Préaux in Les Préaux , and the village was also the seat of a barony .

The copial book of the Abbey of Saint-Pierre de Préaux contains a lot of information about the community, but often does not differentiate between Saint-Cyr-de-Salerne and Saint-Pierre-de-Salerne, but names both Salerne (or Salernia). In 1106 Robert I de Beaumont (1050–1118), comte de Meulan , assured the abbey that its lands in Salerne would be freely used and that his lands there should belong to the abbey after his death. One of the witnesses to this donation was Robert II (1054–1134), the Duke of Normandy . While the same abbot was presiding over the abbey, the abbey exchanged its lands in Hacqueville with the canons of Beaumont-le-Roger for their lands in Salerne. Robert de Beaumont, his wife Elisabeth and their sons Galéran IV (1104–1166), Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester (1104–1168) and Hugh de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Bedford (* around 1106) authorized the exchange.

In 1235 the Abbot of Le Bec and the Prior of Beaumont-le-Roger ceded all their rights and claims to the tithe of Saint-Pierre and Saint-Cyr-de-Salerne, including the right to the tithe of the mill from Salerne, which was, however, in Authou . In return, the monks of the Abbey of Saint-Pierre de Préaux gave them all rights with regard to the tithe of Le Tremblay-Omonville and La Neuville-du-Bosc . This exchange was signed with the seal of Guillaume Du Pont-de-L'Arche (1218-1250), the then Bishop of Lisieux .

In 1293, the then Seigneur of Harcourt , Jean II. D'Harcourt , relinquished all rights he had with regard to the forests of Saint-Pierre and Saint-Cyr-de-Salerne in favor of the Abbey of Préaux.

From 1556 until the French Revolution (1789–1799) the fiefdom of Saint-Cyr-de-Salerne was owned by the Bellemare family. Georges Cyr Antoine de Bellemare de Saint-Cyr fought in the American War of Independence (1775–1783).

In 1793 Saint Cyr de Salerne (without hyphens) received the status of a municipality in the course of the French Revolution and in 1801 the right to local self-government (with hyphens in the place name).

Culture and sights

The Saint-Cyr-et-Sainte-Julitte church

The Saint-Cyr-et-Sainte-Julitte church was built in the 15th century. Parts of the facade were renewed in the 16th century. The porch of the portal was entered in the supplementary directory of the Monuments historiques in 1961 and the ensemble of church (with porch), cemetery and ancient yew trees is classified as site classé (natural monument).

The former pastorate , a half-timbered house from the 19th century, now houses the Mairie.

The Maison de la Charité (House of Mercy) is also a half-timbered house from the 19th century. It has served the "Brotherhood of Mercy of Saint-Cyr" ( Confrérie de Charité ) since 1864 as a warehouse for candles, robes and the like. The Confréries de charité are a Norman institution that is particularly popular in the Eure department. The fraternities consist of high-ranking members of the community and take care of funerals for needy community members and the like. The brotherhoods differ from one another by their processional flags. The Brotherhood of Mercy of Saint-Cyr has Saint Quiricus of Tarsus († 304) as patron saint . In 1864 the Confrérie in Saint-Cyr-de-Salerne had twelve members, today it still has eight members and comes into action four to five times a year.

economy

The image of the community is characterized by forests, meadows and fields. Important occupations of the Saint Cyriens are agriculture and the breeding of domestic cattle. In the municipality, there are controlled designations of origin (AOC) for Calvados and Pommeau (Pommeau de Normandie) and Protected Geographical Indications (IGP) for pork (Porc de Normandie) , poultry (Volailles de Normandie) and cider (Cidre de Normandie and Cidre normand) .
