Notre-Dame d'Armancourt Church is a Catholic church located in Armancourt, Oise department.

The Western portal is also Renaissance-style, suggesting that it was added after the event. This may also be the case with the vaults of the collateral, where the date of 1614 is engraved. The church is noticed by its picturesque position, its relative homogeneity, its solid cutting stone apparatus, and its dissymmetric plan.
