Origin and history

The Church of Notre-Dame de Blangy-le-Château is a Catholic church located in the commune of Blangy-le-Château in Normandy. Built in the 15th century, it replaces an earlier Romanesque building, destroyed during the Hundred Years War. This monument, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, bears witness to the religious and architectural reconstruction that followed this devastating conflict for the region.

The church bell tower, a remarkable architectural element, was inscribed as historical monuments on October 11, 1930. This partial protection underscores its heritage importance, although the rest of the building does not benefit from this distinction. The church also houses several classified furniture items, such as a master altar, altarpieces, statues, stained glass and panelling, reflecting its rich artistic and liturgical heritage.

Located in the Calvados department, northeast of the town of Blaggy-le-Château, the church is part of a Normandy rural landscape marked by medieval history. Its location, at 5 Rue de l'Église, makes it a central point of local community life for centuries. The management of the monument is now the responsibility of the municipality, which ensures its preservation and openness to the public.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its historic status and cultural value. The building thus illustrates the evolution of religious architecture in Lower Normandy, between Romanesque heritage and late Gothic innovations. Its state of conservation and precise location (GPS coordinates) are documented, with accuracy considered satisfactory by the heritage bases.
