Origin and history

The Saint-Martin de Neauphe-sur-Dive church is a monument located in the commune of Neauphe-sur-Dive in Normandy. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or its detailed history. This type of religious building, typical of the Normandy countryside, served as a place of worship and assembly for the local community.

In rural areas such as Normandy, parish churches played a central role in daily life. They were often the heart of social, religious and sometimes administrative activities. Their architecture generally reflected local resources and know-how, while meeting the spiritual needs of the inhabitants.
