Origin and history

Saint-Hubert des Marêts Church is a Catholic building located in the Seine-et-Marne department of Île-de-France. It is distinguished by an original architecture, with a hexagonal nave confined to chapels, built around 1583. Its structure, inspired by the techniques of Philibert de l'Orme, and its bell tower-porch, added at the beginning of the seventeenth century, make it a remarkable example of the religious architecture of this period.

Ranked a historical monument by decree of August 5, 1920, the church has undergone several transformations over the centuries. The apse was rebuilt in the early eighteenth century, including a seigneurial chapel in the south. In 1751, the rotunda panelling was redone. Major restoration works were carried out between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, thus preserving its architectural heritage.

The building, owned by the commune of Marêts, is a testimony of local religious and architectural history. Its hexagonal plan and decorative elements reflect the stylistic influences of the Renaissance and later periods. The Mérimée base and the archaeological studies, like those of Jacques Moulin, underline its importance in the Seine-et-Marne heritage.
