His name, dedicated to Saint Médard, bishop of Noyon in the sixth century, suggests an ancient origin, but no exact date can be advanced on the basis of current information.

They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for social and administrative events. In an area marked by strong agricultural and monastic history, these buildings often reflected the local organization around the parish, without any specific details of this monument being confirmed in the state of knowledge.
