Origin and history

The Church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Missy is a Catholic religious building located in the village of Missy, now part of the municipality of Val d'Arry, in the department of Calvados in Normandy. Built in the 13th century, it bears witness to the medieval architecture of the region, with remarkable elements such as its southern portal and western rose, both stone. These parts of the building have been officially recognized for their heritage value.

The southern gate and the western rose of the church were inscribed as historical monuments by an order dated 16 May 1927. This protection highlights their artistic and historical importance, although details of their design or sponsor are not specified in available sources. The building now belongs to the municipality and remains an emblematic place of local heritage.

Available sources, including Monumentum and Wikipedia, indicate that the church is still located at the following address: 3 Impasse de l'Église, in Missy (Val d'Arry). Its state of conservation and accessibility to the public are not detailed, but its location is considered satisfactory according to geographical accuracy criteria. The monumental Statistique du Calvados (1846) of Arcisse de Caumont also mentions it, highlighting its historical interest since the 19th century.
