Origin and history

The church of Pont-de-Planches is a religious monument located in the commune of La Romaine, in the region Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. Its name evokes a location close to a bridge or passageway, typical of medieval or pre-modern buildings.

Churches of this type played a central role in the life of Burgundy rural communities. They served as places of worship, assembly and sometimes refuge. Their architecture often reflected the local resources and spiritual needs of the inhabitants, while integrating into the landscape and communication axes, as suggested by the name Pont-de-Planches.
