Origin and history

The church of Sainte-Radegonde de Cladech is a religious monument located in the commune of Cladech in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify the period of its construction or the architectural or historical details that might place its origin in time. Parish churches, like that of Cladech, played a central role in the life of rural communities in New Aquitaine.

They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for the inhabitants, marking the social, agricultural and religious rhythms of the local population. Their presence often reflects the medieval or modern organization of villages around a sacred building.
