Origin and history

Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Houppeville is a Catholic building located in the Seine-Maritime department in Normandy. Built in stone, limestone and flint, it is distinguished by a two-coloured checker decor and a choir higher than the nave, housing 19th-century furniture, including stalls, a chair of 1830 and an altar of 1880. Its 16th century windows and its consecration crosses testify to its rich historical heritage.

Ranked a historic monument in 1862, the church has undergone several changes over the centuries. The choir was redone in the sixteenth century, while the stained glass windows were restored in 1910. In 1914, the bell tower was damaged by lightning. A commemorative plaque recalls the general mobilization of 1939, highlighting its anchor in local history.

The building preserves notable architectural and artistic elements, such as a two-coloured checker decoration on a span and old windows. The 19th century furniture, including stalls and a pulpit, as well as the consecration crosses on the walls of the choir, reinforce its heritage character. The church remains a place of memory and worship, open to the visit.
