There 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
Épine is the French word for "thorn", both blackthorn and hawthorn contain the word épine . So there was probably a particularly large number of thorn bushes on site. The lands called Épine belonged to the barony of Saint-Philbert-sur-Risle until the 11th century .
Towards the end of the year 846 or 847 Bayeux was in the hands of the Bretons under Nominoë († 851). The area around Bayeux was frequented by Normans . A man named Hervé from Saint-Victor-d'Épine, on the basis of visions and after consulting Frechulf , the Bishop of Lisieux , decided to accept the corpses of Saints Regnobert de Bayeux and Zénon, the deacon of Bayeux bring yourself home. Two priests helped him. They sneaked into town, into the Saint-Exupère church, and stole the relics . Via Norolles they then moved back to Saint-Victor-d'Épine, where the corpses of the two saints were exhibited on the altar for a while, with lots of song and processions , until Hervé built their own church in Suiacum Villa for them .
In the 11th century, the then owner Guillaume gave Giroie d'Echauffour Épine to the Saint-Léger Abbey of Les Préaux . Épine was divided into the parishes of Saint-Victor-d'Épine and Notre-Dame-d'Épine.
In documents it became Saint-Victor-d'Espineuse in 1317 , Saint-Victor-de-la-Haie-d'Eppines in 1400 , and in the 17th century Saint-Victor-d'Epinne (note des Chambre des comptes , the French Ministry of Finance in the Ancien Régime ).
Saint-Victor-d'Épine received in 1793 in the course of the French Revolution (1789-1799) the status of a municipality (still as Saint Victor d'Epine) and in 1801 the right to local self-government (with today's name spelling).

Attractions
The Saint-Victor church was built in the 16th century and rebuilt in the 19th century, with the nave enlarged. In the church there is a painting depicting the crucifixion of Jesus Christ . It was painted in the 17th century and has been classified as a Monument historique (historical monument) since 1907 .
One of the two large yew trees behind the church is about a thousand years old. And thus much older than the church itself. The yew was classified as an arbre remarquable ( tree monument ) in 1925 . It is 15 meters high and its trunk has a circumference of 11 meters at the base. In Normandy popular belief, yew trees are considered to be connections between the realm of the dead and the living. They protect the soul of the deceased on the way to the realm of the dead. Therefore, they were planted in the cemeteries.
The Le Mont-Criquet manor house was built in the 18th century. The walls are made of quarry stone and brick . In the second half of the 19th century, the comtesse de Vaugiraud had the dwelling and the side pavilions enlarged. It is privately owned.
The Jardins du Clos Saint-François was established in 1985 around a 17th century Norman farmhouse . The site is two hectares and is on the edge of the municipal area of Saint-Victor-d'Épine, halfway to Saint-Georges-du-Vièvre . Sculptures and installations are exhibited in the meadows, flower beds and ponds. Swans , ducks and geese run around between the works of art .
