The available data do not specify its construction period or its specific architectural or historical details. Its name suggests a dedication to Saint Mary Magdalene, a major figure of Christianity, but there is no additional element to illuminate the circumstances of this attribution or evolution of the building over the centuries.

In Lauragais, a region marked by rural and agricultural history, parish churches such as Verdun-en-Lauragais traditionally played a central role in community life. They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for the inhabitants, reflecting the social and religious organization of the villages. In the absence of specific information, it is impossible to accurately date the construction phases or any modifications to the building.
