Origin and history

The church Saint-Dutrille de Frontenas is a religious building located in the commune of Frontenas, in the Rhône department (69), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. This monument, classified among the Historical Monuments, is distinguished notably by its portal, including the vantals of the door, which was inscribed by decree on 19 January 1926. This official protection underscores its heritage and architectural importance to the commune and the region.

The location of the church, specified as "a priori satisfactory" (note 7/10), is indicated at the following address: 29 Church Square, 69620 Frontenas. The building belongs to the municipality and its state of opening to the public (visits, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the available sources. The building is part of a rural context typical of the villages of the region, where churches historically played a central role in community, social and spiritual life.

The available data, from the Merimée database and Monumentum, do not provide detailed information on the exact origin of the church, its construction period or the milestone events of its history outside the protection of its portal. No mention is made of historical characters related to its foundation or evolution, nor of specific anecdotes. The lack of details of its construction period ("None") limits the understanding of its precise historical context.
