Église de l'Annonciation de Haute-Isle, Troglodyte church in Haute-Isle, France
The Annonciation Church features a stone bell tower above ground while its main structure extends into the chalk cliff face along the Seine River.
Nicolas Dongois initiated the construction of this underground church between 1670 and 1673 after Haute-Isle gained independence from the Chérence parish.
The church interior contains a 17th-century wooden altarpiece and a screen dividing the nave from the choir, displaying traditional French ecclesiastical craftsmanship.
The church maintains regular religious services within the pastoral sector of Magny-en-Vexin after reopening following structural reinforcement work.
This underground religious building stands as one of only five troglodyte churches in France and remains the single example in the Île-de-France region.
