Origin and history

The Church of Notre-Dame-du-Tertre de Goustranville is a religious monument located in the municipality of the same name in Normandy. The available sources do not specify its construction period or the architectural or historical details associated with it. Its name suggests a link with the Virgin Mary, as is often the case for churches dedicated to Our Lady.

In the Norman region, parish churches have traditionally played a central role in the lives of local communities. They served as a place of worship, assembly and identity marker for the inhabitants. In Goustranville, as in many rural communes, the church was probably a focal point of social and religious life, although the archives specific to this monument do not allow to accurately trace its history.
