Heritage classified
Church with the exception of the modern floor which crowns the western bell tower: classification by decree of 30 August 1911
Origin and history
The church of Marols, with the exception of its modern floor added to the western bell tower, is an emblematic monument of medieval periods, covering the twelfth, thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. Its architecture reflects the stylistic evolutions of these epochs, with Romanesque and Gothic elements probably visible. Classified as a Historical Monument by decree of 30 August 1911, it bears witness to the religious and community importance of Marols throughout the centuries.
The location of the building, at 5030 Le Bourg à Marols (Loire), is documented with an accuracy deemed satisfactory (note 7/10). Owned by the municipality, this church is a protected local heritage, although information on its current accessibility (visits, uses) is not specified in the available sources. Its early ranking at the beginning of the twentieth century underscores its historical and architectural value.
Available data from Monumentum and the Merimée database indicate that the church is a central point of the town, as evidenced by its exact address and INSEE code (42140) linking Marols to the borough of Saint-Étienne. No information is provided on any historical figures related to its construction or use, or on any significant events that took place there.
