Origin and history

The church of Saint-Gertrude de Senngey is a religious building built over centuries, from the 13th to the 17th century. Located in the department of the Gold Coast (21), it is classified as Historic Monument by order of 20 July 1908. This classification protects the entire building, now owned by the municipality of Senngey.

The location of the church at 9 A Street of the Church is estimated with a priori satisfactory accuracy (level 6/10). Although the available sources (Monumentum, Mérimée base) do not detail the precise construction phases, they confirm its belonging to the Burgundian architectural heritage, marked by various stylistic influences depending on the times. The building is part of a rural context where parish churches played a central role, both spiritual, social and administrative.

No information is provided on church-related sponsors, architects or specific historical events. The data are limited to its legal status (classification, communal ownership) and its geographical location. Burgundy-Franche-Comté, a region to which Perngey belongs, was at these times a land of transition between the influences of the Duchy of Burgundy and the Kingdom of France, with a largely agricultural economy and towns organized around their churches.
