Origin and history

The church Notre-Dame de Gourmalon is a religious monument located in the commune of Pornic, in the Pays de la Loire region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or the architectural or historical details associated with it. In this coastal region, local churches traditionally played a central role in community life, serving as a place of worship, gathering and spiritual landmark for the inhabitants.

Their construction often reflected the needs of a population mostly oriented towards fisheries, agriculture or maritime trade, depending on the times.
