Origin and history

The church of Saint-Aubin, located in the Côte-d'Or department in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, is a monument whose construction periods run from the 11th to the 19th century. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages, with architectural traces dating from the 11th century, followed by major changes in the 15th and 17th centuries. These additions reflect the stylistic evolutions and liturgical needs of each era, while integrating defensive or decorative elements characteristic of their time.

The classification of the building as a Historic Monument by order of 4 July 1980 underlines its exceptional heritage value. Owned by the commune of Saint-Aubin, the church today embodies a multi-series architectural heritage, marked by restoration or beautification campaigns in the 19th century. Its location on the 3rd Street of the Church and its protected status make it a major point of interest for local and regional history.

Available sources, including the Mérimée and Monumentum base, confirm its importance in the Burgundy cultural landscape. Although the details of its past uses (cult, community gatherings) or its current state (open/closed to the public) are not specified, its ranking and location make it a privileged witness to the religious and social dynamics of Burgundy throughout the centuries.

The accuracy of its geographic location is assessed as poor (note 5/10), which may reflect uncertainties about its exact boundaries or changes in the surrounding urban fabric. The photographs available under the Creative Commons license, such as Havang(nl), offer a visual overview of this heritage, complementing the historical textual data.

The absence of specific references to church-related figures or events in the sources consulted limits the knowledge of its social history. However, its composite architecture — Romanesque, Gothic, classical — suggests a continuous adaptation to the spiritual and aesthetic needs of the successive communities of Saint-Aubin.

Finally, the administrative address (21190 Saint-Aubin) and the Insee code (21541) firmly anchor this monument in the territory of the Côte-d'Or, near Dijon. These contextual elements reinforce its role as an identity landmark for residents and a potential destination for Burgundy heritage lovers.
