Origin and history

The church of Saint-Amand is a religious building located in Dononment, in the Aube department, in the Grand Est region. Built mainly between the 12th and 16th centuries, it reflects the architectural evolutions of these periods, mixing Romanesque and Gothic styles. Its designation as historic monuments in 1987 reflects its heritage value and local importance.

The church, owned by the municipality of Dononment, is a place of Catholic worship whose precise location is attested to at 6 Rue Saint-Amand. Its listing in the inventory of historical monuments was formalized by a decree of 6 April 1987, covering the entire building (cadastre AB 121). This status protects its architecture and furniture, while allowing its preservation for future generations.
