Origin and history

The church Saint-Pierre de Dampierre-et-Flée, located in the Côte-d'Or department in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, is a religious building whose origins date back to the thirteenth century. The current architectural elements come from the 13th, 14th and 17th centuries, while the vaults and bell tower date back to the 18th century, following restorations after a devastating fire. This monument illustrates the evolution of sacred art, notably with its 17th century interior furniture, typical of the Catholic Counter-Reform.

In 1060, a first church was founded by Saint Jubin, originally from Champagne, but it was the 12th century building that became one of the most important in the region. During the Thirty Years' War in 1636, Italian General Matthias Gallas burned down the church where 200 inhabitants of the village had been locked up. Only two survivors were identified. The reconstruction began in the 18th century, preserving medieval elements while integrating Baroque modifications.

Among the treasures of the church is the worship of the shepherds, a 17th century painting attributed to Jean Tassel, an artist from Burgundy. This work, marked by the use of the clair-obscur, features angels and an evocative landscape. The building, owned by the commune, has been listed as historic monuments since 1984, reflecting its heritage and memorial importance.

The church also houses a furniture characteristic of the Counter-Reform, reflecting the liturgical and artistic evolutions of the era. Its bell tower, rebuilt after the fire, dominates the village of Dampierre-et-Flée. Historical sources, such as the Merimée base and Wikipedia, confirm its status as a protected monument and its central role in local history.

The location of the church at 2 Rue de l'Abreuvoir is documented with average accuracy (level 5/10). His official address on the Merimée base corresponds to Cadastre D 94. Although the information on its current accessibility (visits, events) is limited, its inscription in the heritage underscores its architectural and historical value.
