The Church of Saint Martin de Crouay is a Catholic building located in the commune of Crouay, Calvados in Normandy. Built between the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, it is a typical example of medieval religious architecture in this region. Its designation as Historic Monuments, effective since May 21, 1927, underscores its heritage importance and preservation for future generations.

The location of the church, east of the territory of Crouay, makes it a historical and cultural landmark for the local community. Although the available sources do not detail its architecture or its stylistic specificities, its status as a Historic Monument indicates that it has remarkable elements, justifying its protection. Bibliographic references, such as those of Arcisse de Caumont in his monumental Statistique du Calvados, attest to his interest in researchers and history enthusiasts.

The building, owned by the commune of Crouay, is mentioned in heritage databases such as Mérimée, where it is listed under the code Insee 14209. Its address, 81 Church Street, allows to situate it precisely in the urban fabric. Although the information on its accessibility or current uses (visits, events) is not specified, its listing in the heritage guarantees its conservation and enhancement within the framework of the Norman heritage.
