Origin and history

The Church of Notre-Dame and Saint-Jacques d'Écaquelon is a religious building located in the commune of Écaquelon, Normandy. Built in the 16th century, it embodies the typical architecture of rural churches of this period, marked by late Gothic influences and renaissance. Its bell tower, an iconic element, was listed as a Historical Monument by ministerial decree in 1926, highlighting its heritage value.

The monument, owned by the commune, is located at 924 Place de l'Église, in the department of Eure (27). Although the available sources do not specify its current use (visits, rental, etc.), its GPS location is considered very satisfactory, facilitating its access. The region of Haute-Normandie, now integrated into Normandy, was in modern times a territory marked by a rural life organized around parishes, where churches played a central role both spiritual and social.

The available historical data, mainly from the Merimée database and Monumentum, focus on administrative and architectural aspects.
