Origin and history

The church Saint-Claude de Bouhey is a religious monument located in the commune of Bouhey, Burgundy-Franche-Comté region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history.

In Burgundy-Franche-Comté, these buildings often reflected local religious architecture, sometimes mixing Romanesque and Gothic influences according to the times.
