This place of worship, dedicated to Saints Marcel and Menne, is part of the local architectural landscape, although the available sources do not specify its period of construction or the details of its historical evolution. Parish churches, like the Pègue, played a central role in the life of rural communities in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
