Origin and history

Église Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul de Grémonville is a Catholic church in the Seine-Maritime department of Normandy. Built between 1774 and 1777, it is the work of the Rouennais architect Charles Thibault. The building, made of flint and rubble coated with mortar, is distinguished by its bell tower-porch surmounted by a frame arrow covered with slates, as well as its unique nave, transept and vaulted choir in a cradle.

The church was classified as historical monuments by order of 4 October 1988. This classification includes not only the building itself, but also the entire fence walls of the cemetery and the hemicycle advance. The architecture combines traditional Norman elements, such as the use of flint, with classical influences visible in the interior structure.

The church, owned by the commune of Grémonville, is a representative example of the religious constructions of the late eighteenth century in Haute-Normandie (now Normandy). Its plan, with a unique nave and a cul-de-four choir, reflects the architectural evolutions of the time, while preserving local materials such as brick for frames and pilasters.
