Origin and history

The church Saint-Symphorien d'Aubigny is located in the commune of Vaux-sous-Aubigny, in the Haute-Marne department, in the Grand Est region. Built in the middle of the 12th century, it is distinguished by its imposing dimensions, with a nave of six spans accompanied by low sides and a choir of two spans leading to a flat bedside. Its medieval architecture is marked by a western portal protected by a low, three-sided porch, allowing light to filter through a geminous Gothic bay.

Classified as a historical monument by decree of 21 February 1914, this church illustrates the religious and architectural heritage of Champagne-Ardenne. It is now owned by the commune and remains a major testimony of Romanesque art and early Gothic influences in this region.

The building, whose exact address is 27 Rue de l'Abbaye in Vaux-sous-Aubigny, is referenced in the Mérimée and Clochers bases of France. Its classification in 1914 underlines its historical and cultural importance, while preserving its original architectural features, such as the nave and flat bedside, typical of Romanesque churches of this period.
