Origin and history

The church Notre-Dame du Vieux-Pouzauges is a religious building located in the commune of Pouzauges, in Vendée ( Pays de la Loire region). Its construction spans two major periods: the 12th and 15th centuries, reflecting late medieval architectural influences. This monument, classified by ministerial decree on 7 March 1939, now belongs to the commune and bears witness to local history through its protected elements.

The location of the church, at the 1 Venelle of the Lords, is estimated with an accuracy deemed "a priori satisfactory" (level 7/10). Although available sources, such as the Merimée and Monumentum base, do not detail its current use, its status as Historic Monument underscores its heritage importance. The building is part of a regional context marked by medieval religious architecture, often linked to the social and spiritual organization of rural communities.

The current data do not specify whether the church is open to the visit or whether it serves other functions (rent, accommodation). However, its classification and communal property suggest a desire for preservation. The Vendée, a rich heritage department, has many similar buildings, often linked to feudal history and architectural transformations of the 15th and 16th centuries.
