Tips
The first mention of this chapel dates back to 1043, when the Bishop of Toul, Brunon de Dabo (1026-1051), approved the creation of the Deuilly Priory. Indeed, we learn that the small monastery then owned half of the church of Aureil-Maison (mediatatem ecclesiae de Aurelii mansionibus).From the mid-12th century, the chapel was rebuilt in the Romanesque style, beginning with the choir and continuing with the nave.In 1188, the Bishop of Toul, Pierre de Brixey (1168-1191), confirmed that the chapel of Aureil-Maison was indeed part of the Deuilly Priory, whose prior appointed the parish priest. In 1195, Pope Celestine III (1191-1198) validated this possession in Deuilly again.
