Origin and history

Saint-Aubin Church, located in Boisney in the department of Eure (Normandy), is a Catholic building dating back to at least the twelfth century. Its architecture has features of archaic Romanesque style, suggesting a potential construction prior to this period. The exterior walls were redesigned in modern times, but the interior retains elements of great historical value, reflecting its heritage importance.

Ranked as a historical monument in 1862, Saint-Aubin Church was one of the first religious buildings protected in France. This early classification underscores its architectural and historical interest, reinforced by the presence of two yews and walls of the surrounding cemetery, the whole being classified in 1926. The building remains active in local life, especially at events such as the Night of Churches, where its altarpieces are highlighted.

Available sources, including bibliographical references such as Lucien Musset's work on Romanesque Normandy (1974) or J. Charles' article in the Archaeological Congress of France (1980), confirm his role in the religious and architectural history of Haute-Normandie. The property of the church belongs to the municipality of Boisney, and its opening to the public, especially at cultural events, makes it a living place of local heritage.
