Origin and history

The Church of Sainte-Thérèse de Netreville is a religious monument located in the city of Évreux, Normandy. Although its precise history and its period of construction are not documented in the available sources, its name suggests a connection with Saint Thérèse, a major figure of 19th-century Catholicism. This type of building often reflects the importance of parish life in French communes, especially from the late Middle Ages to the contemporary era.

In the Norman region, local churches have traditionally played a central role in the social and spiritual organization of communities. In Evreux, as in other cities in the area, these places of worship served not only for religious services, but also as gathering points for the inhabitants. Their architecture and location often reflect the urban evolution and pastoral needs of people throughout the centuries.
