Origin and history

Convers Deschamp is a historical monument located in Revigny, in the Jura department (region Burgundy-Franche-Comté). Built in the 3rd quarter of the 17th century, it bears the inscription engraved: "HONORABLE PHILIBBERT CONVERS DESCHAMPS M'A/FAICT CONSTRuyRE ET ERIGER LAN DE LA GRAND PEACE FAICTE/ENTRE LE ROY TRES CATHOLICIQUE ET LE ROY TRES CHRETIEN/1660". This oratory thus commemorates the peace of the Pyrenees (1660), a treaty ending the Franco-Spanish war under Louis XIV and Philippe IV of Spain.

The building was inscribed in the Historical Monuments by decree of 18 August 1989, specifically protecting "Convers Deschamp's 17th century loratory" (cadastral reference: 1981 AD 130). Its location, reported to the address " rue de l'Ancienne-Cueille" (or "5118 Rue de la Cueille" according to GPS sources), benefits from a location deemed "passable" (note 5/10). No information is available on its current accessibility (visits, services).

The sponsor, Philibert Convers Deschamps, is mentioned as the initiator of its construction, in direct connection with the political context of the time. The Oratory illustrates the importance of local memorials after the major European peace treaties, reflecting both the piety and territorial anchoring of the provincial elites under the Old Regime.
