Origin and history

Saint-Cure-d'Ars de Cité Belleroche is a religious monument located in the city of Villefranche-sur-Saône. Although his name refers to the parish priest of Ars, famous figure of the nineteenth century, there is no precise information to date his construction or to trace his detailed history in the sources available. Neighbourhood churches, such as Cité Belleroche, traditionally play a central role in the lives of local communities.

In Villefranche-sur-Saône, a city marked by a rich historical and religious past, these buildings serve as places of worship, assembly and social cohesion. Their architecture and location often reflect the spiritual and urban needs of the surrounding populations, although the specificities of this church are not documented here.
