Origin and history

Saint-Ouen de Saint-Ouen-de-la-Cour is a monument located in the commune of Belforêt-en-Perche in Normandy. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. This type of religious building, typical of the Normandy countryside, was generally used as a place of worship and assembly for local inhabitants.

In rural areas such as the Perch, churches played a central role in community life, hosting both religious services and social events. Their architecture often reflected local resources and know-how, while evolving over the centuries according to the needs of the parish.
