Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its period of construction or its specific architectural or historical details.

In the general context of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, parish churches like that of Teissières-lès-Bouliès played a central role in the lives of local communities. They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for social, religious and sometimes administrative events. Their construction and maintenance often reflected the importance of the Christian faith in the daily organization of villages, especially in rural areas where the church was a strong identity landmark.
