Église Notre-Dame de Rouvrou, Medieval church building in Ménil-Hubert-sur-Orne, France.

The Notre-Dame de Rouvrou church features early Romanesque architecture with a nave and carved stone heads at the porch entrance depicting feline figures.

Monks from the Abbey of Saint-Étienne de Fontenay constructed the original church in the 11th century, replacing an earlier parish church destroyed around 1150.

The church contains granite stalls connected to monastic practices, reflecting the religious traditions of medieval Normandy.

The religious building stands near a presbytery constructed in 1837 through local parishioner funding, with a sacristy added in 1853.

After temporary abandonment during the French Revolution and partial destruction in 1820, worship services resumed without authorization until official reinstatement in 1847.
