Origin and history

The ancient church of Belleville-sur-Vie is a 12th century religious building located in the commune of Belleville-sur-Vie in Vendée (Pays de la Loire). This monument, partially protected, bears witness to local medieval architecture, with a portal classified as Historical Monuments since 1947. Its exact location, 1 Rue du Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny, is documented in the Merimée and Monumentum bases, although geographical accuracy is considered poor (note 5/10).

The church gate is the element protected by ministerial decree of 14 April 1947, highlighting its heritage importance. The property belongs to the municipality, but information on its accessibility (visits, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the available sources. Historical data are limited to its construction period and legal status, without reference to sponsors or associated milestone events. The approximate GPS location suggests an address close to the neighbouring municipality of Bellevigny, but this information remains to be confirmed.

Available sources (Monumentum, Mérimée base) provide administrative and technical details, such as the Insee code of the municipality (85019) and its attachment to the district of La Roche-sur-Yon. No information is given on the social or religious history of the monument, or on any past restorations or uses.
