Origin and history

Sainte-Marie de La Rochelle-Normande is a monument located in the municipality of Sartilly-Baie-Bocage, Normandy. Although its period of construction is not specified in the available sources, it is part of the religious landscape of this historic region, marked by a strong presence of medieval and post-medieval buildings.
