Origin and history

Notre-Dame de Courgeon Church is a Catholic building located in the commune of Courgeon, Normandy. Built in the 17th century, it embodies the religious architecture of this period, marked by a transition between late Gothic and classical styles. Its bell tower, an emblematic element, bears witness to local know-how and regional influences in the construction of rural churches.

The church bell tower Notre-Dame was classified as historic monuments on April 8, 1909, recognizing its exceptional heritage value. The rest of the building was inscribed on 17 July 1926, consolidating its protection and preservation for future generations. These rankings reflect the historical and architectural significance of this monument in the Norman landscape.

Located in the department of Orne, this church is part of a territory rich in religious heritage. Like many buildings of that time, it played a central role in community life, serving as a place of worship, gathering and visual landmark in the rural landscape. Its maintenance and conservation are now followed by dedicated organizations, such as the Observatory of Religious Heritage and the services of the Normandy Inventory.
