Origin and history

The church Saint-Cyr-et-Sainte-Julitte de Clamerey is a historic monument located in the village of Clamerey, Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Its origins date back to the 12th century, with major changes made in the 15th century. This place of worship, typical of Burgundian medieval religious architecture, was deeply restored during the 4th quarter of the 19th century, marking three key periods of its architectural and historical evolution.

The 19th century restoration was carried out by architect Charles Suisse, whose intervention allowed the building to be preserved and renovated. The church has been classified as a Historical Monument since 1988, with specific protection covering the entire building (cadaster D 27). Today it belongs to the municipality of Clamerey, stressing its heritage and cultural importance for the local population.

The location of the church, at 8 Rue de l'Eglise in Clamerey, is documented in the Merimée base, with geographical accuracy deemed to be satisfactory a priori. This monument illustrates the religious and architectural history of Burgundy, while reflecting the practices of 19th century heritage restoration, during which many medieval buildings were rehabilitated to avoid their degradation.

The Insee code of the municipality (21177) and its attachment to the Côte-d'Or department in the district of Dijon place this monument in a territorial context marked by a rich medieval heritage and a tradition of active preservation. The church, with its protected elements, is a tangible testimony to the artistic and religious evolutions of the region since the Middle Ages.
