Origin and history

The church Notre-Dame de Croagnes is a monument located in the commune of Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. This type of monument, typical of provençal villages, generally served as a place of worship and assembly for the local community.

In this region, churches played a central role in daily life, including as a place of prayer, celebration of religious holidays and social cohesion. Their architecture often reflected local traditions and available materials, such as limestone so widespread in the Luberon.
