Origin and history

The church of Saint-Ferréol, located in La Saulsotte in the department of the Aube (Great East region), is a religious building whose origins date back to the thirteenth century, with significant changes in the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. It is distinguished by its high position, away from the village, reflecting its gradual isolation due to the depopulation of the eponymous parish. Its furniture and glass windows, listed in the Palissy base, underline its local heritage importance.

Originally the seat of the parish of La Saulsotte, the church became in 1761 the center of the parish Saulsotte-Saint-Ferjeu, attached to the dean of Pont-sur-Seine under the confederation of the bishop. Its designation as historic monuments in 1990 preserved its architecture and historical role. The building, owned by the commune, retains elements characteristic of the medieval, renaissance and classical periods, although its exact location is considered a priori satisfactory (note 6/10) according to available sources.

The archives mention its integration into heritage networks such as Clochers de France and the Mérimée base, confirming its status as a protected monument. Its approximate address, 1 Street of the Church, and its Insee code (10367) clearly place it in the religious and architectural landscape of the Dawn. No information is available on its current accessibility (visits, rental) or any tourist facilities.
