Origin and history
The church Saint-Jean-Baptiste de la Viéville, located in Dompaire in the department of Vosges, is a religious building whose origins date back to the 12th century, with significant changes in the 16th century. This monument illustrates two major architectural periods: the Romanesque style for its oldest parts, and Gothic or Renaissance elements for subsequent additions. Its classification as Historic Monument by decree of November 25, 1943 underlines its heritage importance and its preservation for future generations.
The location of the church at 72 Rue Pierre Girot in Dompaire is documented with an accuracy deemed satisfactory (level 7/10). Owned by the commune, it is referenced in the Mérimée base under the code Insee 88151, attached to the department of Vosges and to the Grand Est region (former Lorraine). The photographs available, such as those of Rauenstein under Creative Commons license, as well as visualization tools such as Street View, provide insight into the immediate environment and its integration into the urban landscape.
Available sources, including the Monumentum platform and internal data, confirm that the building is fully protected under the name "Eglise de la Viéville".
