In the 14th century, parish churches like Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption played a key role in the social and religious organization of villages. They served as places of worship, gathering, and sometimes sheltered during times of trouble. In Vendée, a region with a strong rural identity, these buildings also reflected local construction know-how, often linked to available resources (stone, wood).
