This 17th century building is built on the former fief of Varengeville belonging to the Abbey of Jumièges and becomes in 1887 the property Gaston Le Breton (1845-1920), director of the departmental museums of Seine-Maritime (Musée des Antiquités, Musée de la Céramique and Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen).

At the rhythm of the seasons, in the 6-hectare park, there is a meeting between art and landscape (arboretum, Japanese garden, rose garden). The
