Origin and history

The church of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption d'Argenton is a monument located in the commune of Fugeret, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. The available data do not specify its construction period or its detailed history, thus limiting the information that can be used to trace its past. Churches of this type, located in mountain villages like Le Fugeret, traditionally played a central role in community life.

They served as places of worship, assembly and architectural landmarks in often isolated territories. Their presence reflected the importance of religion in the social and cultural organization of local people, especially in the Southern Alps.
