High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The architecture of Normandy spans a thousand years. In Haute-Normandie, the late medieval vernacular domestic architecture is typically half-timbered: some fine examples in Rouen escaped the devastation of the Second World War. The half-timbered farmhouses scattered across the countryside remind one of the historical links with rural English architecture. A particular style of farm enclosure has developed in the Pays de Caux as a result of the harsher landscape of that area. Vernacular architecture in Basse-Normandie, especially in the Cotentin Peninsula, tends to use granite, the predominant local building material. The Channel Islands also share this influence - Chausey was for many years a source of quarried granite, including for the construction of Mont Saint Michel.
