Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption d'Auvers-sur-Oise

The Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption church stands on a hillside, featuring a central tower, four-bay nave, and transept with Gothic architectural elements throughout the structure.

Construction of the church began in the late 11th century under Philippe I and underwent reconstruction after 1137 under Adelaide of Savoy following Louis VI's death.

Vincent van Gogh created his famous painting 'The Church at Auvers' in June 1890, now displayed at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.

The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors and provides guided tours explaining its architectural features and connection to van Gogh's artwork.

The church received two separate historical monument classifications, first in 1856 and again in 1915, highlighting its architectural and historical value.
