Church: registration by decree of 25 January 1929

Origin and history

The church Saint-Pierre de Vielmanay is a religious building built in the 15th century, located in the village of Vielmanay, Burgundy-Franche-Comté. This monument, typical of late medieval religious architecture, reflects the techniques and style of its time, although the precise details of its construction are not documented in the available sources.

Classified as Historic Monument by order of January 25, 1929, the church is protected for its heritage interest. It belongs today to the commune of Vielmanay, in the Nièvre department (code INSEE 58307). Its inscription bears witness to its historical and architectural value, although the archives do not specify the exact reasons for this protection.

The location of the church at the 11 Route de la Mairie is considered satisfactory (accuracy note: 7/10). This type of building played a central role in community life in the Middle Ages, serving as both a place of worship, a gathering and sometimes a refuge. In Burgundy-Franche-Comté, medieval churches were often at the heart of villages, symbolizing both faith and local social organization.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm its status as communal property and its potential openness to the visit, although the practical modalities (times, access) are not detailed. No information is provided on any historical characters related to its construction or history.
