The church Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Tencin is a religious monument located in the commune of Tencin, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. This place of worship, dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, is a central element of the local heritage, although the available sources do not specify its period of construction or the details of its architectural or spiritual history. Parish churches such as Tencin's traditionally played a major role in the lives of rural communities.

In Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, these buildings served not only as a place of prayer, but also as a gathering point for the inhabitants, marking the social and agricultural rhythms.
