Origin and history

Built between the second half of the 15th century and the first half of the 16th century, it embodies the religious architecture of the transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Its location in the heart of the village, on the Grande Rue, highlights its central role in local community and spiritual life.

At the time of its construction, between the 15th and 16th centuries, Burgundy was a region marked by dynamic economic activity, notably thanks to the trade in wine and linen. The parish churches, like Saint-Romain, served not only as places of worship, but also as gathering points for collective decisions and local holidays. Their edification often reflected the prosperity of the communities and their attachment to the Christian faith, in a context where the Church played a major social and political role.
