Origin and history

The Church of Saint John, also known as the Church of Lasbardes, is a religious monument located in the commune of Moulinet. The available sources do not specify its exact origin or period of construction, which makes it a building whose history remains partially unknown. Churches of this type, often at the heart of villages, played a central role in community life.

In New Aquitaine, as elsewhere in rural France, they served as places of worship, assembly and identity marker for the inhabitants. Their architecture and location generally reflected the spiritual and social needs of local populations throughout the centuries.
