Built in the 13th century, it is a typical example of medieval religious architecture in this region. Its classification as historic monuments in 1862 reflects its heritage importance and its preservation over the centuries.

The monument is located precisely at 173 Route de l'Église, 14710 Bricqueville. It is listed in the Mérimée base under Insee 14107, attached to the municipality of Bricqueville. The church is owned by the commune and is one of the monuments protected since the classification of 1862, which covers the whole building.

The classification of Saint-Pierre Church in 1862 is part of a period when France undertook to protect its architectural and historical heritage. This initiative aimed to preserve emblematic buildings, often linked to the country's religious and cultural history. In Calvados, several monuments benefited from this measure, as evidenced by the list of historical monuments of the department.

Available sources, such as Wikipedia and Monumentum, as well as the works of Arcisse de Caumont in his monumental Statistique du Calvados (1857), provide information about the church. These references highlight its role in the local architectural and religious landscape, while providing details on its construction and history.
