Origin and history

The church of the Nativity-de-Notre-Dame d'Esson is a religious monument located in the commune of Esson, Normandy. The available data do not specify its period of construction or its detailed history, but its name suggests a dedication to the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, a theme common in medieval and modern churches. Parish churches like Esson played a central role in the life of Norman rural communities.
