Origin and history

The Saint-Remy church in Tresnay, first mentioned in 1130, is a typical Romanesque building in Bourbonnais. Built in the 12th century by Benedictine monks of Saint-Pierre-le-Moutier, it depended on the abbey of Saint-Martin in Autun. Few churches of this period remain in the region, most of which were destroyed in the 19th century. Its architecture thus reflects a rare medieval religious heritage.

Over the centuries, the church has undergone several changes. The nave was covered with a new roof in the 16th century, while in the 19th century, the bell tower was redesigned and a ceiling added to the nave. Restoration campaigns, especially since 1990, aim to preserve this monument inscribed in the Historic Monuments since 2010. This work demonstrates a continuing commitment to valuing this local heritage.

The building, owned by the municipality of Tresnay, illustrates the religious and architectural history of Burgundy. Its registration in 2010 underlines its historical and cultural importance. Although its exact location is approximate (level 6/10), it remains a point of interest to understand the Benedictine and Romanesque heritage of the region.
