Theuville-aux-Maillots: Architecture and Church History

Theuville-aux-Maillots is a small village in the Pays de Caux region. Its cultural highlights include the architecture of the Château de Theuville, the construction history of the Church of Saint Maclou, and the listing of two items of church furnishings as movable cultural heritage. The Le Puy-Valet circular walk from Gerponville adds a clearly defined hiking option. You can plan your trip around historic buildings and cultural heritage, or around a route with a specified distance and duration.

Château de Theuville: Construction Period, Style, and Masonry

The Château de Theuville was built in the 1730s and is representative of the architecture of the Age of Enlightenment. The construction period and stylistic classification answer different questions: the construction period establishes when it was built, while the description places its architecture within an era. The château is also built with walls of yellow sandstone and red brick. This brings together a historical date, an art-historical classification, and two specifically named building materials. The contrast between the yellow sandstone and red brick adds another dimension to the stylistic classification: in addition to its period, the composition of the masonry can also be considered. If you are interested in architecture, you can consider these aspects separately: the date indicates when the château was built, while the materials and stylistic classification describe other aspects of its construction.

The Church of Saint Maclou and Ecclesiastical Cultural Heritage

The Church of Saint Maclou dates from the 16th century; its nave and choir were rebuilt in the 19th century. These dates refer to different aspects: the first identifies the church’s period of origin, while the second specifically refers to the rebuilding of two parts. This distinction preserves the building’s architectural history without assigning the entire structure to a single century. For visitors interested in church history, this distinction is particularly informative.

The high altar and tabernacle in the church of Theuville-aux-Maillots were listed as movable cultural heritage on September 21, 1979. The listing concerns two specific objects, not the building’s construction history. This category distinguishes such furnishings from the church as a building and offers a different historical perspective. The date 1979 refers to the listing, not to the church’s construction period, keeping these two chronological questions distinct. Alongside the architecture, you can also consider sacred furnishings as a separate aspect of the cultural heritage.
