Origin and history

Saint Vincent Church, located in Combs-la-Ville in Seine-et-Marne, is a neo-Gothic religious building. It is distinguished by its nave finished with a flat bedside and a square bell tower of 43 meters, vestige of an earlier construction. The place is home to protected furniture, including a 14th century Virgin with Child and statues from the 18th and 17th centuries.

The history of the site dates back to at least the 7th or 8th century, with several successive buildings. At the beginning of the 20th century, the church, threatened with ruin, was completely rebuilt between 1900 and 1902, with the exception of the bell tower and some capitals of the 12th-XIIIth century. It is dedicated to Vincent de Zaragoza and labeled "Heritage of Regional Interest" in 2021.

Among the notable works are a bell of 1767, a 17th-century print by Nicolas de Larmessin, and a painting of the Martyr of Saint Vincent (17th century), a copy attributed to John Jouvenet. A Nativity painted in 1859, stolen in 1993, was also one of his movable heritage.
