Origin and history

The Church of Assumption-de-Marie is a religious monument located in the commune of Bouchet-Mont-Charvin. This place of worship, dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, is part of the local architectural and spiritual landscape, although its period of construction is not documented in the available sources. In rural areas like Le Bouchet-Mont-Charvin, parish churches traditionally played a central role in community life.

They served not only as a place of prayer, but also as a gathering point for religious festivals, ceremonies and collective decisions. Their presence often reflected the social and religious organization of the villages, marked by a strong Catholic identity in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
