Origin and history

The Church of Sainte-Thérèse-de-l'Enfant-Jésus de Brignoud is a religious monument located in the commune of Villard-Bonnot. Although its name evokes a dedication to Thérèse de Lisieux, canonized in 1925, there is no precise information to date its construction or its architectural history. The churches dedicated to Sainte-Thérèse-de-l'Enfant-Jésus multiply in France from the beginning of the twentieth century, reflecting the increasing popularity of this saint.

In Villard-Bonnot, as in other industrial cities in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, these buildings often play a central role in community life, marking the local urban and spiritual landscape.
