Origin and history

The church of the Assumption-de-la-Mère-de-Dieu de Thoirette is a religious monument located in the commune of Thoirette-Coisia, in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region. The available data do not specify its period of construction or its detailed history, limiting the understanding of its architectural evolution or its local historical role. Churches of this type in this region were traditionally central places for rural or urban communities.
