Medieval or modern churches, such as Saint-Germain, often played a central role in the lives of local communities. In Millau, a city marked by its artisanal and commercial history, especially around leather and wool, these buildings served as places of worship, gathering, and sometimes refuges. Their architecture generally reflected the resources and know-how available in the region, as well as the dominant stylistic influences at the time of their construction.
