Although its name and location are known, the available sources do not specify its construction period or details of its architectural or religious history.

Parish churches like Villard-Reculas traditionally played a central role in the life of alpine villages. They served as places of worship, community gatherings and sometimes refuge. In mountainous areas such as Isère, these buildings often reflected the local social and religious organization, marked by rural life and traditions rooted in the territory.
