Origin and history

The Protestant temple of Saint-Étienne-de-l'Olm is a religious monument located in the commune of Saint-Étienne-de-l'Olm. This place of worship bears witness to the historical presence of a Protestant community in the Occitan region, although the available sources do not specify its date of construction or the significant events in its history. In Occitan villages, Protestant temples often played a central role in community life, especially after the French Revolution, when freedom of worship was restored.

These buildings served not only as places of prayer, but also as gathering points for the faithful, reflecting the importance of the reformed faith in some rural areas of southern France.
