Originally, Cauville-sur-Mer was divided into hamlets and localities organized into clos-hovels, such as Briquemare, Buglise, Chesnaie, Fleuritte, Marfauville and Tronquay. In 1823, Cauville was born from the merger of three municipalities, Rimbertot, Cauville and Buglise, by royal decree promulgated by King Louis XVIII. In 1913, at the request of the municipal council, the qualifier “sur-Mer” was added to distinguish the town from its namesake located in Calvados.

The name of our town is of Gallo-Roman origin. In the 12th century, the village was called Hugleville, becoming Heugleville sur mer in 1484, then Eugville in 1763 and finally Heuqueville. Heuqueville retained a feudal mound near the church until the 19th century. Before the revolution, Heuqueville had a sea watch, in order to avoid any enemy intrusion via our coasts. The church, dedicated to Saint Peter, was built in several periods starting from the 16th century. We invite you to come and visit this church and the secrets found there.
