Origin and history

The church Notre-Dame-des-Anges de Pélasque is a religious monument located in the municipality of Lantosque, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its date of construction or its detailed history. His name evokes Marian devotion, typical of medieval or modern buildings, but there is no additional information to refine this hypothesis.

Rural churches like Notre-Dame-des-Anges often played a central role in the lives of local communities. In Lantosque, as in other villages in the region, these places of worship served as gathering points for services, religious holidays and social events. Their architecture and location generally reflected the spiritual and practical needs of the inhabitants, although the specificities of this monument were not documented.
