Origin and history

Saint-Eleusippe de Quinçay Church is a religious building located in the commune of Quinçay, in the department of Vienna, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. This monument, whose construction period is not specified in the available sources, is identified as a Historic Monument. Its most remarkable element is its door, protected by an official inscription since 17 June 1926.

The location of the church at 5349 Rue du Calvaire in Quinçay is approximate, with an accuracy considered fair (note of 5/10). This type of building, typical of the French countryside, played a central role in community life, serving as a place of worship, gathering and social landmark for the inhabitants. Rural churches like this were often at the heart of local religious and cultural activities, reflecting the importance of faith and traditions in ancient societies.

The church of Saint-Éleusippe now belongs to the municipality of Quinçay, as the available data mention. No additional information is provided concerning its opening to the public, its possible ancillary functions (room rental, guest rooms) or its current state of conservation. Sources are limited to administrative and geographical references, without detailed architectural or historical details.

The data come mainly from the Merimée database and Monumentum, supplemented by internal information. The Creative Commons license is associated with Jacques Lavignotte's photo, but no other visual or descriptive elements are available from the sources consulted. The Insee code of the municipality (86204) confirms its attachment to Vienna and the former Poitou-Charentes region, which is now part of New Aquitaine.
