Origin and history

The church of Seurre is a religious monument built between the 13th and 14th centuries. Located in the municipality of Seurre, in Côte-d'Or (Department 21), it is representative of the medieval sacred architecture of the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region. Its registration as a Historic Monument by order of 3 June 1927 bears witness to its heritage value recognized by the authorities.

The location of the building, at 4 Rue des Écoles in Seurre, is documented in the Merimée base under the code Insee 21607. Although geographical accuracy is assessed as poor (note 5/10), the church remains a central historical landmark for the municipality. Municipal property, it could potentially host visits or events, although these uses are not explicitly confirmed by available sources.

The periods of construction, spread over the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, coincide with an era marked by the rise of religious buildings in France. These churches then served as places of worship, community gathering and symbols of local spiritual and temporal power. In Burgundy, then under the influence of duuché and the kingdom of France, these monuments played a key role in structuring villages and towns around a spiritual and social centre.
