Origin and history

Saint-Antoine d'Anglire Church is a religious monument located in the commune of Anglire, in the department of Marne, in the Grand Est region. It is distinguished by its flamboyant architecture, typical of the late Middle Ages, and houses remarkable woodwork dating back to the 18th century. These woodwork, coming from the extinct priory of Macheret, were integrated into the church choir and constitute a major heritage element.

The building was partially classified and listed as historic monuments in 1946. The woodwork of the choir was classified by order of 16 September 1946, while the rest of the church (with the exception of these woodwork) was registered by order of 17 October 1946. These protections reflect the historic and artistic value of the building and its importance in the local heritage.

Saint-Antoine Church, owned by the commune of Anglure, is part of a regional context marked by a rich religious and architectural tradition. The flamboyant churches, like this one, were often central places of community life, serving as both a place of worship, a gathering and a symbol of the local faith. Their preservation now allows us to understand the evolution of artistic techniques and religious practices in Champagne-Ardenne.
