Origin and history

The church and its cemetery of Valherbasse, located in Miribel (Drôme), are a historical monument whose origins date back to the 12th and 15th centuries. The architectural elements still visible today bear witness to these two distinct construction periods, although precise stylistic details are not described in the available sources. The site was officially recognized for its heritage value by registration with the Historic Monuments on July 13, 1926, attesting to its cultural and historical importance to the region.

The location of this monument, at 7 Place du Tilleul, 26350 Miribel, is considered satisfactory a priori (note of 7/10) according to the available data. Property of the municipality, the church and its cemetery are part of a rural context typical of Drôme, where religious buildings played a central role in medieval and modern community life. These places served not only as a framework for cultural practices, but also as a social and memorial space, reflecting the organization and beliefs of local people throughout the centuries.

Available sources, including Monumentum and internal data from the Merimée database, indicate that the monument is still associated with the municipality of Miribel, whose Insee code is 26210. Although its current state of openness to the public or its contemporary uses (rents, visits) are not specified, its status as a Historic Monument guarantees legal protection. The Creative Commons license awarded to Gachepi's photo also suggests a documentary and tourist interest in this local heritage.
