Origin and history

The church Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Ricey-Haute-Rive is a religious monument located in the municipality of Riceys, in the department of Aube, in the Grand Est region. It has been classified as historic monuments since 1919, reflecting its heritage and architectural importance. Although its exact construction period is not specified in all sources, Monumentum indicates that it dates from the 16th century.

The churches of that time, in this wine region of Champagne, played a central role in community life. They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for the inhabitants, often linked to agricultural and wine-growing activities. Their architecture generally reflected local stylistic influences and available resources, while embodying the faith and traditions of the rural populations of the time.
