Origin and history

The church Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix de Solaure is a religious monument located in the city of Saint-Étienne, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Although its name evokes a peaceful and Marian vocation, the sources available do not specify its period of foundation or its detailed architectural or spiritual history. In this region marked by a strong industrial tradition, particularly related to metallurgy and mining, local churches have often played a central role in community life.

They served as gathering places, spiritual support for the working-class population, and urban landmarks in expanding cities like Saint-Étienne.
