Origin and history

Saint-Laurent des Écrennes Church is a 13th-century religious building in the commune of Écrennes, Île-de-France. This monument, typical of medieval architecture, has been included in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 1972, attesting to its heritage importance and preservation.

The location of the church, specified as fair (note 5/10), places the building at 2 Place de l'Église, in the Seine-et-Marne department (77). The church belongs to the commune and its protected element, referenced under cadastre A 186, was registered by decree of 27 September 1972. No additional information is available on its specific history or subsequent transformations.

Available data, from the Merimée database and the Monumentum license, indicate that St. Lawrence Church is an example of the rural religious constructions of the Middle Ages in Île-de-France. These buildings were then used as a place of worship, community gathering and identity marker for villages. Their architecture often reflected the local resources and know-how of the artisans of the time, although the source text does not specify the stylistic characteristics of this church.
