The church of Notre-Dame du Torquesne is a religious monument located in the commune of Le Torquesne in Normandy. Although its period of construction is not specified in the available sources, it bears witness to the architecture and religious history of this French region. His name, associated with the Virgin Mary, suggests a foundation or dedication linked to Marian worship, common in medieval or modern buildings.
