Origin and history

Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption Church is a Catholic building located in the heart of Parigne-l'Évêque, in the Sarthe department, southeast of Le Mans. Mainly dating from the 15th century, it underwent significant changes during the first quarter of the 17th century and the second half of the 19th century. These transformations reflect the architectural and liturgical evolutions of each epoch, while maintaining a basic medieval structure.

The church has been listed as historic monuments since July 16, 1984, when it officially recognized its heritage value. This classification protects the entire building, identified under cadastral reference AC 104. The property belongs to the municipality of Parigné-l'Évêque, which makes it an accessible public property, although the terms of visit or use (such as room rental) are not specified in the available sources.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, highlight its importance in the local religious landscape. The church is part of a wider network of historical monuments of the Sarthe and the arrondissement of Le Mans, illustrating the rich architectural and spiritual heritage of the Pays de la Loire region. Its exact location, 10 Street of the Church, is documented, although the accuracy of its geographical location is considered mediocre (level 5 of 10).
