Origin and history

The Church of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assumption of Twenty-Hanaps is a religious monument located in the commune of Écouves in Normandy. Although its period of construction is not specified in the available sources, its existence reflects the importance of cultural buildings in this region. Such churches, often in the heart of villages or hamlets, served as a gathering place for local communities.

In Normandy, as elsewhere in France, they played a central role in the social, religious and sometimes even political life of the inhabitants. Their architecture and location often reflected the spiritual and practical needs of the surrounding populations.
