Origin and history

The church of Saint-Georges de Morteaux is a Catholic building located in the village of Morteaux, Morteaux-Coulibeuf commune (Calvados, Normandy). Built mainly from the second half of the 13th century, it underwent later modifications, including the addition of a south bay in the 16th century and a bell tower in the 4th quarter of the 18th century. His former bell tower, now gone, was once between the choir and the nave. The building belongs to the former diocese of Sées and was placed under the patronage of the Hôtel-Dieu de Falaise.

The church was listed as historic monuments by order of 19 September 1928, recognizing its heritage value. Protected elements include the entire building, owned by the municipality. Its architecture reflects stylistic evolutions over centuries, with traces of the thirteenth, fourteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Historical sources, such as the monumental Statistique du Calvados d'Arcisse de Caumont (1850), document its local importance.

The commune of Morteaux-Coulibeuf, formed in 1857 by the fusion of Morteaux and Coulibeuf, houses this emblematic building. Although the details of its current use (visits, cults) are not specified in the sources, its inscription in the heritage reflects its historical role in the Norman religious and architectural landscape. The available GPS coordinates suggest a satisfactory location, with an official address at 14620 Morteaux-Coulibeuf.
