Explore Écrainville through its architectural history and country paths. Several building phases can be seen at the Église Saint-Denis; around 15 hiking routes lead to hamlets and to the natural and built heritage. Route information is available at the town hall. Some buildings in the hamlets also point to former ecclesiastical and seigneurial connections.

The Église Saint-Denis: several building phases

The oldest part of the Église Saint-Denis dates from the 11th century; the building is made of stone, flint and brick. The church retains significant Romanesque features and was altered in the 16th, 18th and 19th centuries. The 11th-century date applies to the oldest part, while the later centuries mark phases of alteration. This makes it possible to distinguish the building’s age, its surviving Romanesque features and later changes.

Historical traces in the hamlets

The Calvaire de Tennemare was erected in 1840 on the site of the former church of Tennemare. The monument therefore also points to a former church site. The Colombier de Maucomble, in turn, points to the existence of a forgotten fief in the hamlet of Maucomble, which bears the same name.

The Manoir des Groseilliers is a remnant of an older seigneurial estate. On walks towards Cuverville, you can walk around the manor house. Together, these places point to different historical connections: a former church, a forgotten fief and an older seigneurial estate.

Hiking between hamlets and countryside

Écrainville has around 15 hiking routes, where you can explore hamlets and the natural and built heritage. Route information is available at the town hall. This gives you a specific place to contact for suitable information before setting out.

A route description of the Circuit des hameaux, published in March 2021, describes a walk from hamlet to hamlet, with views of the clos-masures and planted embankments typical of the Pays de Caux. This focus on the landscape distinguishes the description from the more general information about routes through hamlets and the cultural and natural heritage.

Écrainville also has 10 km of country paths used by walkers. The two figures answer different questions: around 15 refers to the approximate number of hiking routes, while 10 km is the length of the country paths. This lets you distinguish the choice of routes from the stated path length.

Market and accommodation search

Écrainville’s market regularly includes a cheese seller and a fruit and vegetable seller. As the vendors’ attendance may vary, it is advisable to check who will be there before planning a visit to the market.
