Saint John Baptist Church of Lamothe dans le Gers

Origin and history

The church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Lamothe is a religious monument located in the commune of Pouy-Loubrin, in the Occitanie region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or the architectural or historical details that could further characterize it. In the Occitan countryside, parish churches like Lamothe played a central role in community life.

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.
