Church (Case AC 38): Order of 14 June 1961
Origin and history
The church Our Lady of Mesnil-Jourdain is a religious building whose construction spans four centuries, from the 14th to the 17th century. Located in the department of Eure, Normandy, it embodies the architectural and spiritual evolution of this rural region over the medieval and modern eras. Its classification as Historic Monument by decree of 14 June 1961 underlines its heritage value, in particular for its protected elements, such as the church itself, referenced under cadastre AC 38.
The monument, owned by the municipality of Mesnil-Jourdain, is located at the approximate address of 12 Rue de l'Eglise, according to the GPS coordinates available. Although the sources do not specify its current use (visits, rental, or worship), its status as a Historical Monument and its location in a Norman village suggest a central role in local community life, both religiously and culturally. The accuracy of its location is considered satisfactory (note 7/10), allowing clear identification in the local landscape.
Available data from Monumentum and the Merimée archives confirm its membership of the Norman heritage, in a department marked by a rich medieval history. The Insee code of the municipality (27403) and its attachment to the district of Évreux place this monument in a specific territorial context, although the sources do not detail the stylistic specificities or significant events related to its construction or restoration.
