Origin and history
The Church of Notre Dame de Removille is a religious building located in the commune of Removille, in the department of Vosges (88), in the Greater East Region. Built in the 16th century, it illustrates the sacred architecture of the Renaissance, a period marked by stylistic evolutions and a revival of ancient motifs. The portal, an emblematic element of the building, was included in the inventory of Historic Monuments by order of 3 March 1926, highlighting its heritage and artistic value.
The location of the church at 18 Rue du Mont in Removille is documented in the Mérimée base, although geographical accuracy is considered satisfactory a priori (note of 6/10). Owned by the commune, the building is part of a historic Lorrainen context, a region marked by complex political and religious dynamics, including the influences of the Reformation and the Counter-Reform. The churches of that time played a central role in community life, serving as both a place of worship, a gathering and a symbol of local identity.
