History
It appeared for the first time in a charter by William the Conqueror referring to the Clères family feudal motte. Becoming the possession of the Mauquenchy family, Blainville became a true fortress and was subsequently confiscated by the English at the beginning of the Hundred Years War and again in 1435. Later, it became the possession of Jean d'Estouteville, who restored the castle and founded the college. During the French reconquest of Normandy, Henry IV held a council of war at Blainville Castle on the eve of the fall of Rouen. The last owners, the Colbert-Seignelay family, demolished the old castle and built a château. The Chateau de Blainville was completely razed during the French Revolution. Around 1820, the two neighbouring villages of St-Arnoult and Crevon were joined with Blainville to become Blainville-Crevon. It is a village of art, culture and history. A festival of world music named "Archeo-Jazz" takes place here annually at the end of June in the ruins of the medieval castle.
