Origin and history

The Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption church in Sortosville is a Catholic building located in the Manche department in Normandy. Built from the 12th century, it presents a Romanesque and Gothic architectural mix, reflecting its various phases of construction and evolution. The building has been listed as a historic monument since 1971, demonstrating its heritage and religious importance in the region.

The church houses remarkable furniture, including a 17th century altarpiece, a 15th century bas-relief, and a rich statuary covering the 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. These elements illustrate the artistic and religious evolution of the region over the centuries. The cartular of the abbey of Montebourg mentions a gift made by Pierre du Quesnay, knight, who gives his possessions in this church and that of Hubertville to the abbey in the twelfth century.

The building, owned by the municipality of Sortosville, is located in the village, at the approximate address of 13 Vge of the Church. Its inscription as a historical monument in 1971 preserved this architectural and artistic heritage, while offering an overview of the local and religious history of Lower Normandy (now Normandy).
