Origin and history
The church of Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais in Perignac is a Catholic religious building located in the commune of Perignac, Charente (New Aquitaine). Built in the 12th century, it is a typical example of the Romanesque architecture of this period. Its primitive bell tower, dating back to the early 11th century, was reconstructed identically in the late 19th century after its demolition.
Classified as historical monuments by decree of 21 September 1907, this church is a protected heritage and belongs to the town of Perignac. It illustrates the importance of parish churches in the social and religious organization of medieval countryside, serving as a place of worship, assembly and identity marker for the local population.
Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its status as a historical monument and its precise location in the Charente department. The building is also referenced in the Mérimée base, reflecting its architectural and heritage interest.
