Theuville-aux-Maillots is a small village on the Pays de Caux plateau. Its cultural landmarks range from the Château de Theuville to the Church of Saint Maclou. The château was built in the 1730s and is associated with the architecture of the Age of Enlightenment; the church dates from the 16th century, while the nave and choir were rebuilt in the 19th century. Also listed as movable cultural property are the high altar and the tabernacle. The village’s history thus brings together its setting in the landscape and clearly dated architectural and cultural history. If you are choosing a stay around historical themes, the village offers several specific starting points for planning your trip.

Château de Theuville: Construction Period and Materials

The Château de Theuville was built in the 1730s and is representative of the architecture of the Age of Enlightenment. Its construction period and architectural classification complement each other: one places its creation in time, while the other describes its connection to the era. The walls are made of yellow sandstone and red brick. The contrast in colour makes these two building materials a tangible feature of the architecture. The château thus combines a historical context with a clear description of its materials. If you are interested in architectural history, this combination offers several points of view: its date of construction, its connection to the Enlightenment, and the colours of its walls.

Church of Saint Maclou

The Church of Saint Maclou dates from the 16th century. The nave and choir were rebuilt in the 19th century. The two dates describe different periods: the church originated in the 16th century, while the later date refers specifically to the rebuilding of the nave and choir. This distinction helps place the church’s origins and architectural changes in their respective periods. Its architectural history can therefore be understood not as a single construction date, but as a sequence spanning the 16th to the 19th century.

High Altar and Tabernacle

In the church of Theuville-aux-Maillots, the high altar and tabernacle were listed as movable cultural property on 21 September 1979. The listing concerns these two specifically named furnishings and adds a distinct cultural heritage perspective to the building’s history. Its date marks the listing of the objects, not a construction phase of the church building. This adds a separate aspect to the architectural history: the dated listing of specific cultural heritage objects.

Le Puy-Valet: Circular Walk with a Stated Duration

Le Puy-Valet is a 14-kilometre circular walk starting from Gerponville. The stated duration is three hours and 30 minutes; the difficulty level is moderate. These details answer different questions: the circular route and starting point identify the walk, the distance and duration give its length and time frame, while “moderate” indicates its stated difficulty. Check the route conditions before setting out. This lets you assess the walk according to its own time and difficulty profile, without equating duration with distance.
