Origin and history
Notre-Dame d'Ouilly-le-Vicomte Church is a Catholic building located in the commune of Ouilly-le-Vicomte, Calvados department, Normandy. Built in the 16th century, it is distinguished by its polychrome trimmings, combining stones and bricks, an architectural style typical of this period.
The church is located southwest of the town of Ouilly-le-Vicomte. It has been listed as historic monuments since 19 July 1926, recognizing its heritage value. This protection status reflects its historical and architectural significance in the region.
