Saint-Sulpice ((:sɛ̃sylpis)) is a Roman Catholic church in Jumet, a section of the Belgian town of Charleroi within the Walloon region in the Province of Hainaut. It is dedicated to Sulpitius the Pious. The oldest material traces of a religious building on the site date back from the 10th century. Three churches preceding the current construction were identified during an excavation that took place in 1967. Of a classical style, the current building was built between 1750 and 1753 by an anonymous architect. The brick and limestone church is quite homogeneous. It is listed since 1949 by the cultural heritage. == Historical context == The church, as well as Jumet, are mentioned in 868 in the Lobbes Abbey polyptych. So it is quite ancient but rarely mentioned in the texts. The destruction of State Archives of Mons and of the Tournai diocese at the beginning of the Second World War probably destroyed most of the documents relating to it. During the Ancien Régime, Jumet belonged to the Prince-Bishopric of Liège, the abbot of Lobbes was sovereign lord by appointment of the Prince-bishop. This sovereignship of Liège is nonetheless contested by its Hainaut and Brabant neighbours. During the era, Brabant imposes itself more and more and therefore answering the local population's wish. In the 1730s, Brabant acts as if Jumet was its full possession. During the 1740s, the duchess Maria Theresa of Austria and the Sovereign Council of Brabant grant, on demand of the mayor and the aldermans, administration laws. Finally, on the , the Prince-bishop yields the lordship of Jumet which becomes officially brabantine. During the French era, Jumet will belong to the département of Jemappes that becomes part of the province of Hainaut after the fall of Napoleon. The different churches that precede the current construction (the patron saint is unknown), were those of a parish of the old deanery of Fleurus belonging to the diocese of Liège. In 1559, during the erection of the new dioceses of Low Countries, this parish is attached to the newly created diocese of Namur, then finally to the diocese of Tournai during the Concordat of 1801. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Church of Saint-Sulpice, Jumet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
