Origin and history

The church Saint-Gervais-et-Saint-Protais de Pullay, located in the department of Eure in Normandy, is mentioned since 1127. At that time, it consisted of a flat bedside elongated nave. Its most notable architectural evolution comes with the construction of the south side, realized in two phases: the general structure at the end of the 15th century, then the covering decorated with delicate sculptures in the 16th century. This side, along with the choir with carved consoles and murals attributed to the 16th century, testify to the artistic importance of this period.

The structural bell tower, damaged in 1739, and the south side, classified as a Historic Monument by decree of 2 July 1932, illustrate the major transformations of the building. The whole church, with the exception of the already classified collateral, was registered by decree of 22 September 2011. These protections highlight the heritage value of the site, marked by architectural and decorative elements of the 15th and 16th centuries.

The church, owned by the town of Pullay, preserves traces of its medieval and reborn history. The 16th century murals and sculptures of the choir, as well as the structure of the south side, reflect the artistic influences of the period. The monument, still in place at 15 Rue des Tourterelles, remains a testimony of the architectural and religious evolution of Normandy.
