Église Saint-Pierre-de-Coulmiers : classification by decree of 24 September 1930
Origin and history
The church Saint-Pierre de Coulmiers is a religious building built in the 12th century, located in the commune of La Chaussée-sur-Marne, in the department of Marne (Great East region). It illustrates Champagne Romanesque architecture, with a Latin cross plan, a porch characteristic of the region, and an octagonal bell tower erected at the crossroads of transepts. Its three-sided apse and overall structure reflect the medieval construction techniques of this period and region.
Classified as historical monuments by decree of 24 September 1930, this church is now owned by the commune. Its state of conservation and its architectural interest justified this heritage protection. Although the available sources do not mention any major historical events related to this place, its ranking reflects its importance in the local religious and cultural heritage.
The location of the church, at the 2 Rue de l'Église in La Chaussée-sur-Marne, is attested by data from the Merimée database and GPS coordinates. The accuracy of this location is estimated to be "passable" (note 5/10), suggesting a correct geographical identification but can be refined. No information is available on its current accessibility, its possible contemporary tourist or community functions.
