Condé Condate comes from the word generally used to designate an area at the confluence of two rivers: the fountain and the Risle St. Christopher. Conde is an ancient village, the parish was organized very early, under the patronage of Saint Martin.
On top of the Bruyère floors, overlooking the hamlet of the Church, it was recognized that there is a camp, probably Roman, in the shape of a rectangle divided into two unequal parts. The largest contains a circular enclosure, about 20 meters in diameter. The camp is surrounded by ditches fairly well preserved. One can, in some places, the depth gauge, to be at least 4 meters. To the south, extends along a ditch, which cut heather, which seems to form a second line of defense.
The first lord of the town whose history mentioned is Gilbert de Condé (eleventh century).
The land of Conde was a stronghold of plain-hauberk which was, no one knows at what time, divided into several portions. One of them appears to have belonged for a time, to the primitive family of Conde, or at least this family has maintained for nearly two centuries in the locality. Another portion of the lordship of Conde belonged, in 1141, Richard Le Bigot. In the mid-13th century, Robert Leonard also seems to have had a portion of the lordship of Conde. Finally, Jean Pouchin was in 1202, Lord of the last portion of Conde, and his descendants gave admission to the stronghold of Condé in 1384.
From this date, the stronghold of Conde and the fief du Buisson belonged to Jean Poisson, before the manor became the possession of the family to La Bruyere 1450, then to Richard de Livet, son of Marguerite de La Bruyere.
In 1640, Du Fay's family sold the lordship of Conde de Bonneval to Guy Duval. The land of Conde had been erected in marquisate in favor of Mr. De Bonneval and his heirs. She returned to its original state, to sell in 1700 in the hands of Mr. de Saint-Paul Voisin. The family-Gouffier Choiseul possessed then, until the Revolution, the lordship of this place.
Conde was once a castle whose last vestiges have been destroyed unfortunately there are about ten years.
The manor of Conde no longer exists, there remains an old dovecote located a short distance from the church.
The Church of Condé-sur-Risle, under the invocation of St. Martin and the patronage of the Abbey of Bec, is old. It consists of a nave of the 11th or 12th century and a chancel rebuilt in the 18th century, following the collapse of the Romanesque bell tower in 1765.
There was formerly a leper Condé Saint-Antoine, which was incorporated in the hospice Pont-Audemer, in the early 18th century. We see today the remains of the Saint-Antoine belonging to the leper.
