Origin and history

The church of Geyssans, located in the hamlet of Saint-Ange, is a monument whose origins date back to the 2nd half of the 12th century. It underwent major changes in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, reflecting the architectural and religious evolutions of these periods. The building has been included in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 1984, thus protecting its entirety, including the elements listed in the cadastre under number 268. This protection bears witness to its heritage importance and historical value for the municipality of Geyssans and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

The location of the church, in the hamlet of Saint-Ange, suggests a strong historical anchor in this rural area of the Drôme. The building, owned by the municipality, is associated with a specific address (2 Hameau de Saint-Ange, 26750 Geyssans), although the accuracy of its geographical location is considered to be satisfactory a priori (note 6/10). No information is available on its current accessibility (visits, rentals, or other uses such as guest rooms), but its status as a Historic Monument indicates an official recognition of its heritage.

Available sources, including Monumentum and the internal data of the Merimée database, confirm its membership of the Insee 26140 code (Drôme, region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes). The lack of details about its sponsors, architects or specific milestones limits the knowledge of its detailed history. However, its inscription in the title of Historical Monuments guarantees the preservation of its architectural characteristics and its role in local history.
