Origin and history

The church Saint-Aubin de Saint-Aubin, located in the Jura department in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, was built during the 2nd quarter of the 19th century. This monument illustrates the religious architecture of this period, marked by neoclassical influences and a revival of the cultural buildings in the French countryside. Its inscription as a Historical Monument by order of 19 January 1993 underlines its heritage value, particularly for its preserved furniture and structure.

The church furniture was made by François Besand, the architect's father who worked on the building. This detail reveals a family transmission of artisanal know-how, common at the time. The painted decorations, executed in 1887, add an artistic dimension to the building, reflecting the decorative trends of the late 19th century. These elements, combined with its status as communal property, bear witness to the local and religious history of Saint-Aubin.

The location of the church, specified at 16 Rue Georges Gros, and its Insee code (39476) anchor it in the territory of Jurassian, near Lons-le-Saunier. The accuracy of its geographical location is assessed as satisfactory (level 6/10), allowing clear identification in the region's heritage landscape. Available sources, such as Monumentum and Merimée data, confirm its importance in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté heritage.
