Origin and history

The Presbytery of Gee is a religious building located in the village of Gee, now part of the commune of Beaufort-en-Anjou, in the department of Maine-et-Loire. Dating from the seventeenth century, this building illustrates the architecture typical of the presbyteries of Anjou at that time, marked by a social organization where the Church played a central role in community life.

The building was listed as historic monuments by order of 9 November 1984. This protection concerns not only the presbytery itself, but also related elements such as the fence of the courtyard and garden, as well as the facades and roofs of the barn and cellar. These details highlight the heritage importance of the site, both for its architecture and for its integration into the local landscape.

In the 17th century, the presbyteries served as a residence for priests and a place for the management of parish affairs. In an area such as Anjou, where agriculture and rural activities dominated, these buildings were often gathering points for the inhabitants, playing both a spiritual and an administrative role.

The precise location of the presbytery, at 5 Impasse Abbé Baumard, reflects its anchoring in the historical urban fabric of Gee. Although the sources do not specify its current use, its status as a historic monument guarantees its preservation for future generations.

The available data, from sources such as Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its belonging to the architectural heritage of Angelvin. The mention in the Mérimée database and its Insee code (49021) reinforce its official identification within the department of Maine-et-Loire.

Finally, the protection of the presbytery extends to elements such as the court floor, reflecting a desire to preserve the entire site in its historical state. This monument remains a representative example of the religious and cultural heritage of the Pays de la Loire region.
