Origin and history

The church of Notre-Dame de Tiergues is a religious monument located in the commune of Saint-Affrique, in the Occitanie region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or the circumstances of its construction. His name, associated with the Virgin Mary, suggests a traditional cult vocation, typical of medieval or modern churches dedicated to Our Lady.

In the historical context of Occitanie, rural churches like Notre-Dame de Tiergues played a central role in community life. They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for the inhabitants, reflecting the social and religious practices of their time. The lack of accurate data on this monument invites further research to shed light on its history.
