Origin and history

The church of Saint-Martin de Champteussé-sur-Baconne is a religious building dating back to the twelfth century. Located in the department of Maine-et-Loire, it underwent transformations in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, reflecting the architectural and religious evolutions of these periods. Its designation as historic monuments in 1968 reflects its heritage value and the desire to preserve this local heritage.

The location of the church, in the commune of Champteussé-sur-Baconne, makes it a central element of community life since the Middle Ages. At that time, parish churches such as Saint Martin served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for the inhabitants, playing a key role in the social and religious organization of the villages. Their construction and maintenance were often the result of collective efforts, reflecting the importance of faith and solidarity in rural societies.

The building, as described in the available sources, has been protected since 1968 by a registration order for historical monuments. This protection covers the entire church, identified under the cadastral reference B 203. The property of the church belongs to the commune, which underlines its local anchor and its continuing role in the life of the community. The available data do not indicate whether the monument is open to visitors or is specifically used, such as room rental or accommodation.
