Origin and history

The church of Saint-Gengoul de Chasséricourt is a Catholic religious building located in the village of Chasséricourt, in the commune of Chavanges, in the department of the Aube (Great East region). It is distinguished by its 16th century choir, typical of the Champagne churches of this period, and a nave rebuilt in the 18th century. Its stained glass windows, also dating from the 16th century, constitute a remarkable artistic heritage.

The building was listed as historic monuments by order of 26 August 1988, thereby recognizing its heritage value. The construction of the choir reflects the local architectural techniques of the Renaissance, while the nave, later, illustrates the stylistic evolutions of the eighteenth century. The church is now owned by the municipality of Chavanges and remains an active place of worship.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, highlight its importance in the religious and architectural landscape of the Dawn. The contractor identified for some works is Nicolas Durand, although his exact role is not detailed. The stained glass windows and the choir are the most studied elements, offering testimony to the artistic and religious practices of their time.
