Origin and history

The Church of Notre-Dame-du-Thil, located in the municipality of Thil-Riberpré, is a religious monument whose precise origins are not documented in the available sources. Its very name, linked to the Virgin Mary, suggests an ancient foundation, probably medieval or antecedent, but no date can be advanced with certainty. Parish churches like Notre-Dame-du-Thil played a central role in the life of Norman rural communities.

They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for social events, religious holidays and collective decisions. Their architecture often reflected the local resources and demographic importance of the village, although the specific details of this monument are not known.
