Origin and history

The church Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire des Fontenottes is a religious monument located in the commune of Montlebon in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its date of construction or its detailed history. His name evokes a link with Marian worship, often associated with churches dedicated to the Virgin Mary under the name of the Rosary.

In this region, local churches traditionally played a central role in community life, serving as a place of worship, assembly and identity marker for the inhabitants. In Montlebon, as in many rural communities, these buildings often reflected the importance of the Christian faith in the social and cultural organization of the people.
