:''See also the Romanesque architecture erected by the Normans at Norman architecture.'' The architecture of Normandy spans a thousand years. == Vernacular domestic styles == In Upper Normandy and in the pays d'Auge, Mortainais, Passais and Avranchin (Lower Normandy),〔Jean-Louis Boithias et Corinne Mondin ''La maison rurale en Basse-Normandie'', éditions Créer, 63 340 Nonette. p. 15.〕 the vernacular domestic architecture is typically half-timbered and thatched. The half-timbered farmhouses scattered across the countryside are inherited from an older tradition that has its roots in the Celtic farms, the remains of which have been excavated by archeologists. A particular style of farmstead called ''clos masure'' or ''cour-masure'' developed in the Pays de Caux as a result of the harsher landscape of that area and local tradition, which has been influenced by English and Danish styles. Brick and flintstone were later used to build or rebuild some of the cottages and public buildings, such as town halls. Some villages of the pays de Caux and the pays de Bray were entirely rebuilt this way. The other parts of Lower Normandy, especially the Cotentin Peninsula, tends to use granite as the predominant local building material. The Channel Islands also share this influence - Chausey was for many years a source of quarried granite, including stone for the construction of Mont Saint-Michel. The Caen plain and the area of Bessin use the traditional unusually hard limestone, called Caen stone. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Architecture of Normandy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
