Origin and history

The Saint-Claude de Theuville Chapel, located in the commune of Theuville (Val-d'Oise), is a religious building built in the 16th century. It is representative of the sacred architecture of this period in Île-de-France, although its detailed history remains little documented in available sources. Its inscription as a Historic Monument by decree of November 2, 1926 bears witness to its heritage value, particularly for its characteristic elements of the sixteenth century.

The location of the chapel at 7 Rue Angèle de Bourbon is estimated with an accuracy considered "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10). Owned by the municipality of Theuville, it may potentially be open to visit, although this information is not explicitly confirmed. Available data are mainly from the Merimée database and the Monumentum platform, without reference to events or specific historical characters related to its construction or use.

In the 16th century, chapels like Theuville often played a central role in village life, serving as places of worship, community gathering and sometimes refuge. In Île-de-France, this period was marked by a transition between the flamboyant Gothic and the early influences of the Renaissance, although the precise architectural details of this chapel are not described in the sources consulted. Its ranking in 1926 is part of a broader desire to preserve the rural religious heritage, threatened by time and social transformation.
