Church: ranking by list of 1840
Origin and history
The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption of Voulton is a religious building built in the 13th century, located in the commune of Voulton, Seine-et-Marne. Classified as a Historical Monument in 1840 by the first protection list, it embodies the medieval sacred architecture of the Île-de-France region. Its status as communal property underscores its anchoring in local life, although its current accessibility (visits, events) is not specified in available sources.
The church's location at 5057 Church Street is attested by GPS coordinates and an address referenced in the Merimée base. However, the accuracy of this location is considered poor (note 5/10), perhaps reflecting uncertainties about its exact location or limitations of historical geographic data. No information details its state of conservation, its subsequent transformations, or its precise role in the community beyond its initial religious function.
Available sources (Monumentum, Mérimée base) confirm its listing in 1840, an early recognition of its heritage value. No mention is made of historical characters related to its construction or its history, nor of significant events being carried out. The lack of details about its contemporary use (cultual, tourist, or other) leaves open questions about its current place in the cultural landscape of Voulton.
