Discover Biéville-Beuville

For your travel planning, Biéville-Beuville offers several clearly distinct themes: Romanesque churches, archaeological remains, a protected park and golf. The town’s history stretches from an early mention in 1080 to decisions in the 20th century to protect architectural and landscape heritage. You can therefore explore Biéville-Beuville through its architectural history, landscape or a specific activity.

Church history across different periods

The Église Notre-Dame de Biéville is a Romanesque church dating from the 11th and 12th centuries. Its earliest recorded mention dates from 1080 and appears in the so-called Montgomery charter. The year refers to the mention, not to the stated construction period. In 1364, Notre-Dame was converted into a fortress.

The Église Saint-Pierre also dates from the 11th century, but was extensively altered in the 17th and 19th centuries. The construction histories therefore highlight different milestones: for Notre-Dame, its early mention and conversion in 1364; for Saint-Pierre, its later alterations.

Archaeological remains

Mégalithe dit Les Pierres branlantes is a Neolithic megalith. By decree of 24 May 1958, it was classified as a historic monument. Its dating to the Neolithic and its later protected status are two distinct aspects of its history.

The Grande Roche promontory overlooks the Orne and has been inhabited by people since at least the Neolithic. Ancient harbor structures discovered at the foot of the oppidum include a quay, low walls, two moles and a stone-paved ramp. These details give a concrete picture of the features included in these harbor structures.

Parc du château de Biéville

Parc du château de Biéville covers ten hectares and is located in Biéville-Beuville. A path that loops around the park is shaded by old oak, chestnut and lime trees. By decree of 28 June 1967, the park was protected as a classified site. Its size, tree species and protected status describe different aspects of this landscape feature.

Manoir Balleroy and Château de la Lande

Manoir Balleroy is an 18th-century country house associated with the bourgeoisie of Caen. It was partially listed as a historic monument on 27 December 1989: the listing covers the rear façade, the corresponding section of roof and the decorated grand salon.

At Château de la Lande, the entrance pavilions and park were listed as a historic monument by decree of 28 August 1947. Together with Manoir Balleroy, this offers a look at two different historic buildings and the specific parts of each covered by their protected status.
