Origin and history

Sainte-Marie-Madeleine de Gajo is a monument located in the commune of Sainte-Maure-de-Peyriac, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The available data do not specify its period of construction or its detailed history, thus limiting the information to its status as a local religious building. In the general context of New Aquitaine, both rural and Gajo churches played a central role in community life.

They served as places of worship, assembly and identity marker for the inhabitants, often linked to agricultural or craft activities typical of the rural areas of the time.
