Origin and history
Église Sainte-Marie-Madeleine de Grandecourt is a Catholic church located in the Haute-Saône department in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Built in the middle of the 12th century, it originally belonged to the Priory of the Augustines, founded in 1142. Its architecture is distinguished by a rectangular nave with flat bedside, typical of the Romanesque art of the region.
Ranked a historic monument in 1995, the church preserves remarkable elements such as 13th century wall paintings adorning the bedside. The structure, rebuilt in the 18th century, bears witness to successive restorations. The convent buildings, rebuilt in 1749, have now disappeared, leaving the church as the only medieval vestige of the priory.
The building, owned by the municipality, is fully protected (cadastre A 678) by order of 10 May 1995. Its exact address, 16 Route de Vy-Lès-Rupt, allows to locate it precisely in the village of Grandecourt, near Vesoul. The murals and the Romanesque structure make this a rare testimony of medieval religious art in Franche-Comté.
