Origin and history

The church Saint-Michel de Plainville is a 16th-century religious building in the commune of Plainville, Normandy. This monument, classified among the Historical Monuments by decree of 12 July 1886, bears witness to the importance of the rural architectural heritage of this period. Its official ranking underscores its historical and artistic value, although the precise details of its construction or sponsors are not mentioned in the available sources.

The location of the church at 9000 Rue de la Mairie in Plainville (code Insee 27460), in the department of Eure, is considered satisfactory, with an accuracy estimated at 8/10. This type of building, typical of Norman villages, played a central role in 16th-century community life, serving both as a place of worship, assembly and identity marker for the inhabitants. The rural churches of that time often reflected local resources and craftsmanship, while embodying prevailing religious beliefs.

The church Saint-Michel is now owned by the municipality of Plainville. Although the practical information about its access (visits, rentals, etc.) is not specified in the sources, its status as a Historic Monument suggests active preservation. The data available are mainly from the Merimée database and Monumentum, without any mention of any specific characters or historical events related to this monument.
