Origin and history

The church of the Assumption of Perreux is a religious monument located in the commune of Perreux, in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. This type of building, dedicated to the Assumption, suggests a central cult and community vocation for local residents.

In rural areas such as Burgundy-Franche-Comté, parish churches played a pivotal role in the social and spiritual life of villages. They served as a gathering place for religious ceremonies, local festivals and collective decisions. Their architecture and decoration often reflected the resources and know-how available in the region, as well as the stylistic changes of each era.
