Origin and history

The church Saint-Théobald de Faugères is a religious building located in the village of the same name, in Ardèche, region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Built mainly between the 11th and 18th centuries, it reflects several architectural periods, although stylistic details are not specified in the available sources. Its designation as a historic monument in 1978 reflects its local and regional heritage significance.

The exact location of the church is confirmed by the Merimée and Monumentum bases, which place it at address 5001 B La Charrère, on the town of Faugères (code Insee 07088). The building belongs to the commune and its state of conservation, although not detailed, seems sufficient to justify a location deemed "a priori satisfactory" (note 7/10). No information is available on its current use (visits, cults, or other functions).

St. Théobald Church is part of a broader historical context where rural churches played a central role in medieval and modern community life. In Ardèche, as in other regions, these buildings served not only as places of worship, but also as social and cultural landmarks for local populations. The periods of construction mentioned (XI-15th centuries) correspond to periods of major transformation, both architectural and societal, although the sources do not specify the specific events related to this building.
