Origin and history

The Saint-Saturnin church of Alligny-Cosne is a religious building built in the 15th century, located in the commune of Alligny-Cosne, Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Classified as a Historical Monument by order of 20 October 1923, it now belongs to the commune. Its architecture and history reflect the late medieval heritage of the region, marked by a strong ecclesiastical presence and a social organization centered around parishes.

In the 15th century, churches like Saint-Saturnin played a central role in the life of Burgundy villages. They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for community decisions and local holidays. The region, then under the influence of the Duchy of Burgundy, experienced a period of relative stability despite the tensions linked to the end of the Hundred Years' War. These religious buildings symbolized both the faith and social cohesion of rural populations.

The location of the church, specified with a note of 8/10 in the Merimée base, indicates a satisfactory identification of its current location, at the 16 Bis Route de Bouhy. Available data from Monumentum and the internal archives confirm its status as communal property and its ranking among the Historical Monuments. No additional information on its architect, sponsors or specific events related to its construction is mentioned in the sources consulted.
