Origin and history

The church Saints-Pierre-et-Paul de Frôlois, located in the eponymous village of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté (Department of the Gold Coast), dates from the 13th century. This religious monument, typical of Burgundian medieval architecture, reflects the construction techniques and artistic style of this period, marked by the rise of parish churches in the countryside.

The building was listed as Historic Monuments by order of November 10, 1925, an official recognition of its heritage value. Owned by the municipality of Frôlois, the church retains protected architectural elements, although its exact location (8 Church Street) is reported as approximate in the databases. Its conservation status and accessibility (visit, rental) are not specified in the available sources.

In the 13th century parish churches like Frôlois played a central role in the life of Burgundy rural communities. They also served as social and political landmarks, often built or maintained by the donations of local lords or inhabitants. Their architecture, sober and functional, met liturgical needs while integrating into the village landscape.

The current data, from the Merimée database and the Monumentum platform, underline the importance of this heritage, despite the accuracy of the location considered "passable" (note 5/10). No information is available on any historical figures related to its construction or history, or on any significant events taking place there.
