Kirche Saint-Laurent in Rully

Worth seeing church in Rully. It dates back to the 14th century.

The church of Saint-Laurent de Rully is located on the hill that extends to the castle and overlooks the village, whose houses are grouped at its feet along the river Thalie.
As early as 920, Hervé de Vergy, appointed bishop of Autun, donated his villa Ruiliacum with the church to his chapter of Saint-Nazaire in his will. A recognition of dues to the hospital house of Bellecroix dated 1263 states that the church was already in its current location.
The transept and choir were rebuilt in the first half of the 15th century and the choir was enlarged to its current size in 1749.
After the south wall of the nave collapsed in 1849, the city authorities took advantage of the reconstruction work to extend the nave by 7 meters and renew the façade in the neo-Gothic style that we know today.
Finally, in 1911, the bell tower and choir were raised.
