Origin and history

Saint-Pierre de la Roche-de-Nonant is a monument located in the commune of Gouffern in Auge, Normandy. This place of worship, dedicated to St Peter, is part of the local architectural landscape, although its exact period of construction is not documented in the available sources. Parish churches such as the Roche-de-None were central to the life of Norman rural communities.

They served not only as a place of prayer, but also as a gathering point for social and religious events. Their architecture often reflected local resources and traditions, while evolving over the centuries according to the needs of the faithful.
