Origin and history

The church Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Molanès is a religious monument located in the commune of Uvernet-Fours in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or the architectural or historical details associated with it. His name suggests a dedication to Saint John the Baptist, the traditional patron saint of many churches in France.

In the Southern Alps, parish churches such as Molanès played a central role in the lives of rural communities. They served as a place of worship, assembly and identity marker for the inhabitants. In Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, these buildings often reflect a history linked to agriculture, livestock farming and transalpine exchanges, although the local characteristics of this monument are not documented in current sources.
