Origin and history

The church Saint-Jean-Baptiste de la Vacherie is a religious building located in Barquet, in the department of Eure in Normandy. Built mainly in the 16th and 17th centuries, it embodies the religious architecture of this period, although its origins date from the 12th century. Its porch and bell tower, characteristic of its style, were listed as historic monuments in 1965, highlighting their heritage value.

The official protection of the church in 1965 specifically concerns its porch and bell tower, a prominent architectural element. These parts of the building illustrate stylistic changes between the late Middle Ages and the modern era. The church, still located in the hamlet of La Vacherie, remains a testimony to the religious and community history of this Norman region, where parish churches played a central role in local life.

The available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its status as a historical monument and its precise location in the commune of Barquet, code Insee 27040. Although the details of its initial construction are limited, its inscription in the heritage today protects an architectural and cultural heritage shared by the inhabitants of the region. Internal data and external references, such as the Merimée database, complement this information by specifying its address and legal framework for protection.
