Timeline

Origin and history

The church Saint-Barthélemy de Monferran is a religious monument located in the commune of Monferran-Plavès in the Occitanie region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its period of construction or the architectural or historical details that could inform its evolution over the centuries. Parish churches like Saint Barthélemy played a central role in the life of rural communities in Occitanie.

They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for the inhabitants, marking social, agricultural and religious rhythms. Their presence often reflected the medieval or modern organization of villages, even though local archives sometimes lacked to accurately trace their history.
