Origin and history

The church of Civry-sur-Serein is a religious monument located in the village of Civry-sur-Serein, on the town of Massangis, in the department of Yonne. This building, whose construction dates back to the 4th quarter of the 12th century, is an example of medieval architecture in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region. The building was classified as historic monuments by order of 6 April 1908, recognizing its heritage and historical value.

The church porch is the element protected by this classification, highlighting its architectural or symbolic importance. The church is now owned by the municipality of Massangis, indicating its anchoring in local life. Although the available sources do not specify its current use (visits, rental, etc.), its location at 5 Rue de l'Eglise suggests that it remains a central point of the village.

The region, marked by a rich medieval history, sees in these religious buildings witnesses to the social and spiritual organization of the rural communities of the time.
