Origin and history

The Calvary of Épreville-en-Lieuvin is an emblematic monument of the sixteenth century, located in the village of the same name, in Normandy. This calvary, typical of Renaissance religious architecture, was erected in a context where such monuments served as both a spiritual landmark and a symbol of devotion for local communities. Its inscription as a Historical Monument by decree of 22 March 1930 bears witness to its heritage value and its importance in local history.

The location of the calvary, at the approximate address of the Old Puit Square, suggests that it occupied a central location in the village, probably a frequented assembly or passage point. In modern times, calvaries were often associated with religious processions and practices of popular piety, reflecting the social and spiritual life of Norman countryside. Their presence also marked the public space, recalling the influence of the Church in everyday life.

Today, the Calvary of Épreville-en-Lieuvin is the property of the municipality, indicating its anchoring in the local heritage. Although the available sources do not specify its current state or accessibility, its inscription in the title of Historical Monuments guarantees protection and recognition of its role in the architectural and religious history of Normandy.

The data from the Merimée database and Monumentum confirm its membership in the department of the Eure, in the Normandy region, and its Insee code (27222) allows to situate it precisely in the current administrative context. The Creative Commons license associated with his photo also suggests a documentary and tourist interest for this monument, although information about his attendance or valorization remains limited.
