An overturned boat hull vault, characteristic of Norman architecture, covers it. Remarkably well preserved, this porch is one of the most finely and richly decorated in the region, if not in France.

The two halls which surround the current town hall were probably built before 1679. That, located along the road from Rouen to Forges, has the particularity of having stalls and hooks, hence its name "butchers hall". Owned by Bois-Guilbert until 1779, then by the Blosseville family, the halls were alienated to the town around 1830. Their granaries were used until the abolition of privileges to store tithes (wheat, oats, barley, rye ...). Every Monday, according to a very old tradition, Buchy hosts a picturesque farmer's market in its halls which is reminiscent of those of Flaubert's time. They are classified as historical monuments.
