About House of the Templars
The Maison des Templiers is a remarkable 13th-century stone building and the oldest surviving structure in Caudebec-en-Caux, classified as a Historic Monument since 1889. Despite its evocative name, no historical evidence confirms Knights Templar occupation - the name likely derives from its resemblance to a similar building in Louviers. The building features distinctive Gothic pointed arch windows and decorative gargoyles, representing one of the rare civilian medieval Norman houses still standing.

In 1918, an American buyer attempted to purchase the Maison des Templiers to dismantle it stone-by-stone and transport it across the Atlantic to the United States. The building was saved at the last minute when a local heritage association, 'Les Amis du Vieux Caudebec', purchased it for preservation - a dramatic rescue that preserved this medieval treasure for future generations.
