"In the history of the village of Essoyes, the most important event was undoubtedly the fire of March 1, 1763, there were only 3 dead but the fire caused considerable devastation and particularly destroyed the church of town.

From the old church only the foundations of the choir remain. It was in 1856 that what remained of the ruins of the Assoyes church was shot down.

The diocesan architect Mr Gael drew up the plans for the new building, drawing inspiration from Mussy's collegiate church. The work lasted 6 years (1856-1862). The church was consecrated by Bishop Ravinet, Bishop of Troyes.

The side chapels have been rebuilt in a modern style. The one on the right is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the one on the left, in memory of the dead soldiers for France. "

"Dans l’histoire du village d’Essoyes, l’évènement le plus important fut sans doute l’incendie du1er mars 1763, il n’y eut que 3 morts mais l’incendie fit des ravages considérables et détruisit particulièrement l’église du village.

De l’ancienne église ne subsistent que les fondations du chœur.C’est en 1856 que ce qu’il restait des ruines de l’église d’Assoyes fut abattu.

L’architecte diocésain Mr Gael, dressa les plans du nouvel édifice, en s’inspirant parait-il de la collégiale de Mussy. Les travaux durèrent 6ans (1856-1862). L’église fut consacrée par Monseigneur Ravinet, évêque de Troyes.

Les chapelles latérales ont été reconstruites dans un style moderne. Celle de droite est dédiée à la Ste Vierge, celle de gauche, en mémoire aux Soldats morts pour la France."
