Church: registration by decree of 24 January 1952
Origin and history
The church Saint-Médard de Chaumussay, located in the Indre-et-Loire department, is a religious building dating back to the twelfth century. She underwent major transformations, especially in the 14th century, where her choir was vaulted with dogwives, a characteristic element of Gothic architecture. These changes reflect the evolution of construction techniques and the liturgical needs of the time.
Classified as a Historical Monument by decree of 24 January 1952, the church is now owned by the commune of Chaumussay. Its inscription reflects its heritage value, both for its architecture and for its role in local history. Available sources, such as the Mérimée and Monumentum base, confirm its importance in the cultural landscape of the Centre-Val de Loire region.
The location of the church, at the approximate address of 3 Place de la Mairie, is documented with an accuracy considered fair (level 5/10). Although details of its current use (visits, rentals, etc.) are not explicitly mentioned, its communal property status suggests potential accessibility for residents and visitors. The building thus embodies both a medieval heritage and a contemporary community place.
