Origin and history

The church Notre-Dame de Joux-la-Ville is a religious building located in the department of Yonne, Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Built in the 15th and 16th centuries, it illustrates flamboyant Gothic architecture, with a two-door portal and a characteristic nave. Its Renaissance-style choir, accompanied by low-sides, and its 16th-century square tower testify to the stylistic evolutions of the period. Ranked a historic monument by decree of 15 January 1908, it houses 18th-century carved stalls and statues of popular art, reflecting its heritage and cultural importance.

The church is located to the east of the village, on the edge of departmental road 11, in a preserved rural setting. Its furniture, including stalls and statues, as well as its hybrid architecture (gothic and Renaissance), make it a remarkable example of Burgundy's religious heritage. The protection of historic monuments underscores its architectural value and its role in local history, while ensuring its conservation for future generations.

The precise location of the building, according to the Merimée base, is indicated as being at 89440 Joux-la-Ville, rue de l'Église. The accuracy of this location is estimated as satisfactory a priori (level 6/10), confirming its anchoring in the historic urban fabric of the village. The church belongs to the municipality and remains a place of worship and visit, although information on its current accessibility is not detailed in the available sources.
