Origin and history

The Saint-Sulpice church of Bougy-lez-Neuville is a 16th-century religious building in the commune of Bougy-lez-Neuville, Loiret department (45). This monument, typical of Renaissance religious architecture, is marked by a partial inscription in the inventory of Historic Monuments, specifically concerning its porch, protected by ministerial decree in 1926. The location of the building, at 8 Place des Marronniers, is considered satisfactory, with an accuracy estimated at 6/10 according to the criteria of the Merimée base.

In the 16th century, in the Centre-Val de Loire region, parish churches like Saint-Sulpice played a central role in community life. They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for local decisions and collective celebrations. The Renaissance period, marked by artistic and architectural renewal, saw the emergence of many religious buildings combining late Gothic elements and stylistic innovations.

These buildings often reflected the relative prosperity of the villages, linked to a still largely agricultural economy, while embodying the cultural and social changes of the time.
