The Saint-Germain church, located in Poilly-sur-Tholon in the department of Yonne (Burgogne-Franche-Comté), is a religious building whose construction dates back to the 2nd quarter of the 16th century and the 19th century. It was fully classified as a Historic Monument by ministerial decree in 2025, attesting to its heritage value. The building, owned by the commune, is located at the address 1 Place de l'Église, on cadastral plot n°13, section B.
