Origin and history

The church of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine de Clignon-Haut is a religious monument located in the commune of Colmars-les-Alpes. This place of worship, whose construction period is not specified in the available sources, is part of the local architectural landscape. Mountain churches, like Clignon-Haut, often played a central role in the lives of rural communities.

They served not only as a place of prayer, but also as a gathering point for the inhabitants, reflecting the importance of religion in the social and cultural organization of the villages of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
