In 1013, Richard II of Normandy erected a castle on the benches of the Avre river as this region was being contested by the Norman dukes, the counts of Blois and the French kings. [3] The custody of the castle was given to the Raoul from the house of Tosny [4] but some time after his rebellion it was given by Robert I of Normandy to Gilbert I of the house of Crispin. Around 1041 the castle was captured from him and razed by the French king Henry I but Robert's son, William the Conqueror, rebuild the castle and invested Gilbert's son, Gilbert II, as hereditary custodian of the castle around 1058. [3]

In the same time, the 11th century, its church Saint-Hilaire was built in the Romanesque style. The church was later enlarged in the 16th century and the facade significantly altered in the 19th century. [5]

The painter Maurice Boitel was born here in 1919.

The village is twinned with that of Wendehausen in Thuringia, Germany.
