Church, Local History, and Remembrance

The village of Auberville-la-Renault was first mentioned in the 13th century. The Église Saint-Maclou is open on the first Sunday of every month. It remains uncertain whether the church was given to Boscherville Abbey in the 11th or 12th century, or whether it belonged to the Duchy of Longueville at that time.

A war memorial and the graves of seven airmen are located in the churchyard of Auberville-la-Renault: two belonged to the Royal Air Force and five to the Royal Canadian Air Force. Alongside its ecclesiastical and medieval associations, the village is therefore also home to a specific place of remembrance connected with the history of the Second World War.

Local legend tells of a river that disappeared, an event attributed to the intervention of a fairy. According to the legend, the mill stopped when the river disappeared. In local lore, the story of the fairy and the fate of the mill are thus directly linked.
