Origin and history
The church Our Lady of the Annunciation of Beaufou is a religious building dating back to the 12th century, with major changes in the 17th century. It is located in the commune of Beaufu, in Vendée (Pays de la Loire), and is an architectural testimony to the stylistic evolutions between the Middle Ages and the modern era. Its inscription as a Historical Monument by order of 10 March 1992 protects the entire building, with the exception of the sacristy attached to the bedside.
The location of the church, at 20 Rue Joubert de la Cour, is documented in the Mérimée base under the code Insee 85015, attached to the arrondissement of La Roche-sur-Yon. Although geographic accuracy is considered "passable" (note 5/10), its administrative address and GPS coordinates allow it to be located with relative accuracy. The building belongs to the municipality and its current status (open/closed to visit) is not specified in the available sources.
The church's protected elements, the non-sacristy main building (cadastre AB 148), reflect its heritage importance. No information is provided on any historical figures related to its construction or use, or on any significant events taking place there. The sources are limited to Monumentum data and administrative references, without detail on its precise role in local life over the centuries.
