Origin and history

The church of the Assumption-de-Notre-Dame de Félines-Minervois is a religious monument located in the municipality of the same name, in the Occitan region. The available data do not specify its period of construction or its detailed history, but its name suggests a dedication to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, a major Christian feast. In the Minervois, the wine-growing and historical region of southern France, parish churches like this traditionally played a central role in community life.

They served as a place of worship, assembly and identity marker for the inhabitants, often linked to local agricultural or craft activities.
