Built between courtyard and garden, the Manor of Villers was in
1581, a "Master House" built up with local stone, with a half-timbered storey, covered with small tiles. It was transformed and extended
through centuries, to become this great manor in neo-Norman style, with the roofing inspired from the best houses of Rouen, and façade
dressed up with a strange "trompe l'oeil" (architecte: Lassire).
Remain of the centuries, the Manor house is the witness
of the daily country life: "maison des champs" (country house) of people from the High Society of Rouen, it recalls
of a way of life made of honours, obligations, and pleasures.
