Origin and history

Saint-Sernin de Labarthe Church is a religious monument located in the commune of Monflanquin, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The available sources do not specify its construction period or its detailed history, thus limiting the information that can be used to trace its past. Such churches, in medieval or post-medieval villages in southwestern France, generally served as a central place of worship for the local community.

They also played a social role, welcoming gatherings, religious festivals and sometimes communal activities. Their architecture often reflected local resources and know-how, while meeting the spiritual needs of the inhabitants.
