Origin and history

The church of Sainte-Marguerite de Chaux-des-Crotenay is a religious building dating back to the second half of the 15th century. It underwent major changes in the last quarter of the seventeenth century and the last quarter of the eighteenth century, reflecting the architectural and liturgical developments of these epochs. Classified as a Historical Monument by decree of 31 August 1992, it includes a beam of glory, a remarkable element of its interior heritage.

The location of the church, in Chaux-des-Crotenay (Jura), is attested with an accuracy deemed satisfactory (note 7/10). Owned by the municipality, it is referred to in the Mérimée database under the code INSEE 39129, attached to the arrondissement of Lons-le-Saunier. Its approximate address, 5094 Route d'Entre Deux Monts, suggests an establishment in a rural or semi-mountain setting, typical of the Jurassian massif.

Available sources (Monumentum, internal data) highlight its status as a protected building, including the entire church as well as its beam of glory. No information is provided on its current accessibility (visits, rental, accommodation), or on any historical characters related to its construction or history. The Creative Commons license associated with a photograph (Esprit Fugace) indicates a contemporary documentary and heritage interest.
