Origin and history

The church Saint-Étienne de Bersée is a religious building built between the 16th and 17th centuries, located in the commune of Bersée, in the department of the North (Hautes-de-France). This monument, whose bell tower is listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments since 1968, illustrates the religious architecture of this period in the region. Its exact location, 10 Street of the Church, is documented in heritage bases like Merimée, with a location deemed "a priori satisfactory".

The church bell tower, identified under cadastral parcel B 571, is specifically protected by order of 29 October 1968. Owned by the municipality of Bersée, this monument is part of a historical context where parish churches played a central role in the social and spiritual life of the villages of Nord-Pas-de-Calais. Local activities at the time, mainly agricultural and artisanal, often revolved around these places of worship, which also served as community landmarks.

Available sources, including the Monumentum platform and the internal data of the Merimée database, confirm its status as a Historical Monument and its membership in the communal heritage.
