Church and cemetery surrounding it (Box AB 85, 86): inscription by order of 16 December 1961

Origin and history

The Saint-Opportune church of Sainte-Opportune, located in the commune of Plessis-Sainte-Opportune in Normandy, is a monument dating back to the 13th century. Its construction phases span several centuries, with works attested to in the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This place of worship, surrounded by its cemetery, reflects the architectural and religious evolution of the region over nearly five hundred years.

The church and its cemetery (cadastre AB 85, 86) are now the property of the municipality. Although the available sources do not specify the details of its current use, its listing as Historic Monuments underscores its heritage importance. The building is located in the department of Eure, in Haute-Normandie (now integrated with the Normandy region), and its exact address is referenced in the Mérimée base.

The location of the church is documented with a priori satisfactory accuracy (level 6 on a scale of 10), and GPS coordinates allow the approximate location of the church in Sainte-Opportune, within the commune. Available photographs, such as the one credited to Havang(nl) under Creative Commons license, contribute to its visibility. However, no information is provided on the practical arrangements for visits, such as opening hours or any associated services (rent, accommodation).
