Origin and history

The Church of Saint-Nicolas de Châteauneuf-d'Entranes is a religious monument located in the municipality of the same name. This place of worship, whose period of construction is not specified in the available sources, is part of the architectural and spiritual landscape of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. His name suggests a dedication to Saint Nicholas, the traditional patron saint of travelers and children, but no specific historical details are mentioned.

In the Southern Alps, parish churches like St. Nicholas played a central role in medieval and modern community life. They served as a gathering place for services, religious holidays and collective decisions. The lack of precise data on this church does not allow to trace its evolution, but its existence bears witness to the importance of Christianity in the social and cultural organization of mountain villages.
