Maromme is a town in the Seine-Maritime department of Normandy, 8 km north-west of Rouen.
The territory crossed by the river Cailly, which makes the marshlands at that time, belongs to the Middle Ages at the Abbey of Fécamp before becoming a seigneurial civil fief in the sixteenth century. Then Maromme returns again to monks, in this case those of the Hôtel-Dieu of Rouen, in 1750.
In the nineteenth century, the locality specializes in weaving and tanning, among others.
Maromme then develops in the wake of the Rouen agglomeration but preserves its green environment (wood, river). To date, the city has more than 11,000 inhabitants and its natural heritage and cultural vitality are worth seeing.
A discovery of the city can begin with its built heritage, however quite small but quality.
This is the case of the Saint-Martin church, completed in 1869, of neo-Gothic style, which succeeded several chapels or earlier churches, become dilapidated or cramped. Note the apse chapels and stained glass windows signed by the painter-glassmaker Rouen Eugene Dalleinne.
To see also, the Pélissier house, a half-timbered mansion of pure Norman style, surrounded by a pleasant park. It belonged to the nineteenth century Aimable Pélissier, native of the city, became Duke of Malakoff and Marshal of France under the Second Empire, and Governor-General of Algeria from 1860 to his death in 1864. The building was acquired by the town and now hosts receptions and cultural events.
Finally, a testimony to the vitality of the local industry in the nineteenth century, an astonishing and impressive paddle wheel on the Cailly, the "Tifine wheel", is worth a look. She fed a textile factory. It evokes the wheels used formerly on the steamers.
