Origin and history

The church of Saint-Jean de Cadiet de Saint-Genès is a religious monument located in the commune of Feugarolles in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The available data do not specify its period of construction or its detailed history, but its name evokes a double dedication, to Saint John and Saint Genès, suggesting an ancient origin and local importance. In the general context of the rural churches of New Aquitaine, these buildings served as a place of worship, community gathering and identity marker for the villages.

Their architecture and decoration often reflected local resources and know-how, while playing a central role in the spiritual and social life of the inhabitants, especially before the modern era.
