The Church of Saint-Martin de Gommerville finds its origins in the 12th century, the era of its initial foundation in the Romanesque style.

Here are the main stages of its history and architectural evolution:

The main stages of its construction

• 12th century (Origins): Erection of the initial church. From this early Romanesque period, the building notably retains the south transept with a characteristic ribbed vault. In 1180, the patronage of the church is officially ceded to the abbey of Valmont by Robert d'Estouteville.

• 18th century: The church underwent significant modifications. The nave, a large part of the crossing tower, and the north arm of the transept were entirely rebuilt during this period.

• 19th century (Developments): In 1825, the current choir was built by the mason Turquetille (who left an engraved inscription there). Later, in 1844, the architect Brunet-Debaines added the sacristy.

The impact of the French Revolution

During the Revolution (early 1794), the church suffered the waves of dechristianization. Its goods, furniture, and pews were seized and sold by the commune. True to the history of many churches in the region, its bells were taken down and melted to make cannons for the revolutionary armies.

Saint Liphard Church

Highlight • Other

The Saint-Liphard church features a crescent moon at the top of its bell tower, the emblem of Avignon's last known pope, Benedict XIII, known as Pedro de Luna.

At least three of its stained-glass windows are by the master glassmaker Charles Lorin from Chartres, including one depicting Saint Paul (1920) and a second depicting the Virgin and Child (1923).

In 2019, a fundraising campaign was sponsored by the Fondation du Patrimoine, and work began.
