Origin and history

The church Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens de Rouaine is a monument located in the commune of Annot, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. The available data do not specify its construction period or the architectural or historical details associated with it. His name evokes a dedication to St Peter, often linked to the chains (a.k.a.) symbolizing his imprisonment in Jerusalem according to Christian tradition.

In the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, where Annot is located, medieval or modern churches played a central role in community life. They served as places of worship, gathering for religious holidays, and sometimes as places of refuge or storage for crops. Without precise information about this church, it can be assumed that it was following these common functions, adapted to the needs of a rural or semi-urban population according to the times.
