Origin and history

The Church of Notre-Dame de Goupillières is a religious building located in the commune of Goupillières, in the department of Eure (region Normandy). Its construction spans three centuries, between the 15th and 17th centuries, reflecting the architectural evolutions and spiritual needs of the local community through these periods. It was listed as a Historic Monument by order of October 25, 1954, recognizing its heritage value.

In medieval and modern times, parish churches like Notre-Dame de Goupillières played a central role in village life. They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for community events, religious holidays and local decisions. In a region like Normandy, marked by a strong rural identity and a turbulent history, these buildings symbolized stability and continuity for the inhabitants.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, indicate that the church is owned by the municipality of Goupillières. Its exact address, 1 Place de l'Église, and its code Insee (27290) confirm its territorial anchor in the canton of Evreux. The accuracy of its geographical location is assessed as satisfactory, facilitating its identification and visit.

Although the details of its architecture or stylistic peculiarities are not explicitly mentioned in the sources, its listing as Historical Monuments suggests the presence of remarkable elements, justifying its protection. The Creative Commons license associated with a photograph of the building (credit: Havang(nl)) attests to its visual and documentary interest.

Finally, the lack of information on the practical modalities of visits (opening to the public, renting, accommodation) suggests that these aspects are not documented in the sources consulted. Nevertheless, the church remains an important testimony to the religious and architectural heritage of Normandy, which is at least visually accessible in its village environment.
