Culture and history
The Manoir de Bévilliers is a Renaissance building listed as a historic monument and showcases the connection between Italian art and the style of the Pays de Caux.
The Maison du Patrimoine et des Cités Provisoires preserves two former barracks from the American Philip Morris camp, as well as the history of the temporary settlements for refugees made homeless by the bombing of Le Havre. This history is presented from 1947 onwards through archival images, audio and video testimonies, plans, timelines and models made by members of the AGCP. The second barrack recreates a kitchen, dining room and bedroom from the 1960s; the objects displayed there enable audiovisual presentations.
The Église Saint-Erkonwald preserves Romanesque capitals, a 16th-century baptismal font and two series of modern stained-glass windows. In the hamlet of Gournay, the Église Notre-Dame-de-la-Consolation was built in the 17th century on the site of an important pilgrimage destination; it has a high altar classified as a historic monument.
Château d'Orcher was a former fortress on a rocky outcrop that was transformed into an elegant residence in the 18th century. The gardens of the Parc du Château d'Orcher include wooded areas and terraces decorated with formal clipped avenues, offering views of Honfleur on the opposite bank of the Seine.
