Origin and history

The chapel Saint-Denis d'Herponcey, located in Rugles in the Eure, is a religious building whose origins date back to the 12th and 13th centuries. It embodies Norman medieval architecture, marked by early Romanesque and Gothic influences. Its registration as a Historic Monument in 1990 reflects its heritage value, although its exact location remains approximate according to available sources.

Over the centuries, the chapel has undergone several major transformations, notably in the sixteenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. These changes changed its initial appearance, reflecting the stylistic evolutions and liturgical needs of each era. Since the end of the 19th century, it has been dedicated to funeral use, highlighting its role in local collective memory. The chapel now belongs to an association, suggesting community or cultural management.

Available data indicate that the Saint-Denis Chapel of Herponcey has been protected since 1990 by a registration order under the Historic Monuments. This protection applies specifically to the building itself, identified under cadastre B 30. Although its address is specified (91 Herponcey, 27250 Rugles), information on its accessibility to the public, such as visits or rentals, remains undocumented in the sources consulted.
