Origin and history

The Saint-Sauveur church of Thury-Harcourt is a religious building located in the village of Thury-Harcourt, now part of the new commune of Hom, in the department of Calvados. Mainly from the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, it bears witness to the medieval religious architecture of the region. His inscription as a historic monument on 25 January 1929 underscores his heritage importance.

The nave of the church dates back to the 12th century, while its western facade was built in the 13th century. The building underwent major renovations in the 15th century, and its choir was rebuilt in the 19th century. Originally, it depended on the former diocese of Bayeux and was placed under the patronage of Fontenay Abbey, reflecting its historical and religious anchor in medieval Normandy.

The Saint-Sauveur church is now owned by the commune. Its architecture, marked by Gothic influences and subsequent changes, makes it a representative example of Norman rural churches. Although its furniture and interior details are not detailed in the available sources, its inscription as a historic monument guarantees its preservation for future generations.
