Église Notre-Dame de Lanville

The Notre-Dame de Lanville priory features a Latin cross layout with a single nave and maintains a large dome at the crossing under the bell tower.

Established around 1120 under the rule of Saint Augustine's regular canons, the priory maintained independence until 1652 when it joined the Abbey of Sainte-Genevieve in Paris.

The south apsidiole contains wall paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries, along with a fragment of a hooded monk statue discovered during restoration.

The religious structure, located at coordinates 45.8556, 0.01278, allows visits to observe its preserved architectural elements and medieval religious art.

The church facade, which collapsed in 1903, underwent reconstruction through funding from a local family and continues to serve the parish community.
