Origin and history

The Church of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Voué, located in the Aube department in the Grand Est region, is a religious building built in the sixteenth century. It is distinguished by its Latin cross plan and its five-sided apse, entirely vaulted. This building houses a statuary and glass windows dating also from the sixteenth century, including representations of saints and biblical scenes such as the Passion or Adoration of the Magi. An 18th century painting by De Soncq completes this artistic ensemble.

Classified as historical monuments by order of 4 September 1913, the church was initially a branch of the parish of Montsuzain, attached to the dean of Arcis. Its architecture and furniture reflect the religious art of the Renaissance, with elements such as a bishop and his donor in polychrome limestone, or external statues such as that of Saint Savine. The precise location of the building is 9 Rue de l'Église, on the municipality of Voué.

The glass windows of the 16th century, including bays 0 and 1, illustrate major religious scenes and donor figures, while De Soncq's painting, added two centuries later, reflects the evolution of artistic practices in this place of worship. The church, owned by the commune, remains a notable example of the Christian architecture of Champagne-Ardenne, now integrated into the Great East.
