The church Saint-Maurice de Blandy, located in the municipality of the same name in Île-de-France, is a religious building whose origins date mainly from the 13th and 16th centuries. This monument, classified as Historical Monuments by decree of 14 March 1944, illustrates medieval and reborn religious architecture of the region. Its classification reflects its heritage importance and the desire to preserve this local heritage.
The location of the church, specified as being at 11 Place des Tours, 77115 Blandy, is considered fair (note of 5/10) according to the available data. Owned by the commune, the building is referenced in the Mérimée base under the code Insee 77034, attached to the Seine-et-Marne department.

The 13th and 16th centuries of construction reflect two pivotal periods in French history: the Middle Ages, marked by the rise of Romanesque and Gothic churches, and the Renaissance, a period of artistic and architectural renewal. These centuries saw the Île-de-France region play a central role in the development of religious heritage, often linked to community life and local authorities. Churches such as Saint-Maurice served as a place of worship, but also as a gathering and affirmation of identity for the villages.
