Registration above the South Gate: inscription by order of 8 May 1933

Origin and history

The Saint-Just Church of Saint-Just-en-Bas is a religious building built in the 4th quarter of the 15th century, located in the commune of Saint-Just-en-Bas, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. This monument, classified among the Historical Monuments, is distinguished by its typical architecture of the late Middle Ages, although precise stylistic details are not mentioned in the available sources. Its inscription above the southern gate, protected by ministerial decree, bears witness to its local heritage importance.

The location of the church, at 18 Le Bourg, is documented with an accuracy considered fair (note 5/10), according to the data of the Merimée database. Owned by the municipality, the building is associated with Insee code 42247, attached to the Loire department. Although its current use (visits, rentals, accommodation) is not specified, its status as a Historic Monument suggests a potential cultural and tourist value for the region.

The official protection of the church dates back to an order of May 8, 1933, specifically targeting the inscription above the south gate. This architectural or epigraphic detail, although not described in the sources, is the key element in its heritage recognition. No information is available on any sponsors, artisans or historical events related to its construction or past use.
