Bertreville-Saint-Ouen: Local history and farm sales

Bertreville-Saint-Ouen offers several distinct points of interest for a stay: a historic communal bread oven, the building history of the Chapelle Saint-Lubin, a dated event from the Second World War and agricultural sales. These local points of interest range from the former provision of bread and church reconstruction to a specific event in 1944. If you are looking for a hotel in Bertreville-Saint-Ouen, these themes can help you decide what to focus on during your stay: are you more interested in local history or a specific agricultural offering?

A former communal bread oven

The Four à pain de Bertreville-Saint-Ouen was a so-called communal bread oven dating from the 18th century. It supplied residents with bread before the oven itself was destroyed during the Second World War. Its history therefore brings together two distinct aspects: the everyday provision of food for residents and destruction during the war. Its former function gives this historical feature a concrete significance beyond its construction date. This focus differs from the history of the Chapelle Saint-Lubin, where reconstruction and building materials take center stage.

Church construction and reconstruction

The Chapelle Saint-Lubin was rebuilt in 1834 from brick, flint and sandstone on the ruins of the former Saint-Ouen-Pren-en-Bourse church. This church burned down in 1798. There are 36 years between the fire and the reconstruction; the dates make the sequence of loss and rebuilding clear. The materials are also part of the building’s history: they give the reconstruction a tangible architectural dimension. For travelers interested in architecture and local history, several aspects can be distinguished here—the name of the former church, the fire, the year of reconstruction and the building materials used.

An event from the war and a restored painting

On June 16, 1944, a V1 was launched from the airstrip in Bertreville-Saint-Ouen. The exact date makes this a clearly defined historical reference. Another cultural point of interest is the painting “Saint Jérôme,” which was restored in 1984. The two years mark different contexts: 1944, the launch during the Second World War, and 1984, the restoration of the painting. Alongside building and everyday history, these include a wartime event and an art-related topic, clearly distinct in time.

Agricultural sales

Élevage Gazan is located in Bertreville-Saint-Ouen on the route between Rouen and Dieppe. It sells laying hens, ornamental chickens, farm poultry, and poultry ready for slaughter or cooking; the specific selection may vary. The location and product range provide different points of reference: the route between Rouen and Dieppe locates the farm geographically, while the poultry types listed describe what it sells. At Ferme Hébert, farm-gate sales take place on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Check before visiting whether these hours are current. Alongside the local historical points of interest, these specific agricultural offerings are another focus to choose from.
