Eglise NOTRE-DAME de l'Assomption

APPEVILLE

Overview

Formerly dependent on the Abbey of Lessay, this church is remarkable for the quality of its style, the great homogeneity of its construction, executed in a single campaign at the beginning of the 13th century, and also for the state in which it has come down to us: almost without retouching, an almost perfect expression of rural Gothic art from Cotentin. In the center, a square tower forming a lantern tower and bell tower, completed by a slender spire.
Single nave, choir with flat apse, projecting transept, sexpartite vaults, 15th century porch. Murals in the chancel recently updated and restored.
