Origin and history

The church Saint-Maurice d'Augy is a monument located in the commune of Augy, in the region Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its period of construction or the architectural or historical details that could help to better understand its evolution over the centuries. In this region, parish churches like Augy's traditionally played a central role in the lives of local communities.

They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for the inhabitants, thus reflecting the importance of religion in the social and cultural organization of Burgundy villages.
