Abstract
The partly medieval church of Chiddes in the South of Burgundy had been surveyed and researched in 2010 by students of architecture from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. The survey was part of a 20-year long campaign by the French organization CEP (Centre International d’Etude des Patremoines Culturels) for the inventory of Romanesque churches and chapels in the Charolais-Brionnais region. The result of the survey and the research is introduced, and the findings are summed up in the form of a hypothetical relative periodization of the church.

The French partner organization, which has been running this programme of architectural surveys for the past 20 years, is a civilian initiative called CEP (Centre Internacional d’Etude des Patremoines Culturel)
The mass of the church is well proportioned, it has a peculiar character: the size of the bell tower is smaller than the crossing, only its western wall is aligned with the western triumphal arch; the other walls are resting directly on the masonry structure of the vaulting
