Church of Preaux: inscription by decree of 22 August 1949
Origin and history
The church Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativity de Préaux is a religious building located in the commune of Lorrez-le-Bocage-Préaux, Seine-et-Marne. This monument, listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 1949, now belongs to the municipality. Its exact location, 20 Rue des Prés, is documented in the Mérimée and Monumentum bases, although the accuracy of its location is considered satisfactory a priori (note of 6/10).
Parish churches such as Preaux played a central role in the life of the villages of Île-de-France, especially before the 20th century. They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a community landmark, often hosting gatherings, religious festivals and important events for the people. Their architecture and decoration generally reflected local resources and regional influences, although the specific details of this monument are not specified in the available sources.
