Origin and history

The parish church of Jaillans, located in the commune of Beauregard-Baret in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region (formerly Rhône-Alpes), is a religious building built between the 11th and 13th centuries. This monument illustrates the architectural and spiritual evolutions of the medieval period in the Drôme, a department on which it administratively depends. Its listing in the inventory of Historic Monuments by order of 13 July 1926 bears witness to its heritage value recognized by the French authorities.

Medieval parish churches, like that of Jaillans, played a central role in the life of the rural communities of the time. They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for collective decisions, local festivals and important social events. In the region, agriculture and livestock then structured the economy, while the Catholic Church organized a large part of daily life, especially through parishes.

The location of the church, specified as 5 A Place de l'Église in Jaillans (hamber of Beauregard-Baret), reflects its anchoring in the local urban fabric. Although the available sources (in particular Monumentum) do not detail the architectural specificities or historical events related to this monument, its status as a communal property and its ranking underline its importance for the local heritage. The accuracy of its geographic location is assessed as fair (note 5/10), which may indicate minor uncertainties about its exact location.

No information is available on the historical characters associated with its construction or history, or on any post-13th century changes. The current data are limited to its registration under the Historical Monuments and its administrative address, without mentioning tourist visits or specific contemporary uses (such as room rental or accommodation).
