Origin and history

Saint-Julien de Bois-Normand-près-Lyre is a Catholic church located in the Eure department in Normandy. Built in the 18th century, it embodies the architectural style of the period, marked by elegant sobriety and harmonious proportions. Its construction is part of the renewal of places of worship in France, where rural parishes sometimes benefited from reconstructions financed by local communities or lords.

The building was classified as historic monuments on September 5, 1922, recognizing its heritage value. According to available sources, its reconstruction during the reign of Louis XVI could be attributed to architect Charles Thibault, although this information requires confirmation. The church, owned by the commune, remains an important testimony to the religious and architectural history of the region.

The precise location of the church is indicated as the 1 Route de Glos, in Bois-Normand-près-Lyre, in the department of Eure (code Insee 27075). Its classification among historical monuments makes it a notable part of the heritage of Haute-Normandie, now integrated into the Normandy region. The available data also mention external resources, such as the Merimée database, which document its history and architectural characteristics.
