Origin and history

The Church of Notre-Dame de l'Annunciation is a monument located in the commune of La Couarde-sur-Mer, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The available data do not specify its period of construction or its detailed history, but its name suggests a dedication to the Virgin Mary, often associated with medieval or modern churches. In coastal areas such as La Couarde-sur-Mer, local churches played a central role in community life, serving as places of worship, assembly and sometimes refuge.

Their architecture often reflected local resources and traditions, while meeting the spiritual needs of the inhabitants.
