In 1692, the manor passed into the hands of a religious community, the Jesuits of Dieppe who remained there until 1762, when the order was banished to France. This occupation explains why the place is still known today as the priory.
The monument was sold as a national property during the Revolution. The act specifies that the property is a «presbyteral manor consisting of a kitchen, room, bedroom, storeroom, stables, barns and with a garden all containing one and a half yards».
The mansion was bought in 1869 by Edmond Delvincourt, the composer’s grandfather. The family receives many personalities from the artistic world. Delvincourt composed a few works there, such as his Trio for piano, violin and cello, in a small pavilion he had built in 1907 in the garden to isolate himself and work in peace. discover Rouxmesnil-Bottles from the sky:
