Origin and history
The church of Saint-Martin de Bézouotte, located in the Côte-d'Or department in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, is a Catholic religious building dating back to the 12th, 13th and 15th centuries. It is distinguished by its bell tower and western portal, which is an outstanding architectural element of its history. The church, accompanied by its cemetery, occupies a central place in the village, close to the town hall, highlighting its historical and social role in the heart of the local community.
The bell tower and western gate of Saint Martin's Church were classified as historical monuments by an order of August 16, 1921, recognizing their exceptional heritage value. The rest of the building, with the exception of those already classified, was included in the inventory of historical monuments by an order of 20 September 1972. These successive protections bear witness to the cultural and architectural importance of this monument, which today belongs to the municipality of Bézouotte.
The precise location of the church at 4 Rue de la Croix Michaut is documented in heritage databases such as Mérimée. Its official address and its Insee code (21072) confirm its territorial anchor in the commune of Bézouotte, within the department of Côte-d'Or. The building, although partially protected, remains a place of worship and a symbol of the region's religious and architectural heritage.
