Saint-Patrice de Saires-la-Verrerie is a religious monument located in the municipality of Saires-la-Verrerie. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. This type of building, typical of the Normandy countryside, traditionally served as a place of worship and assembly for the local community.

Their architecture and location reflected the importance of the Christian faith in the organization of villages, while serving as an identity landmark for the inhabitants.
