Origin and history

The church of Saint-Ferréol du Pinet-d'Uriage is a religious monument located in the commune of Saint-Martin-d'Uriage. This place of worship, whose name pays tribute to Saint Ferréol, is part of the local architectural landscape without its founding period being clearly documented in the available sources. Churches dedicated to Saint Ferréol, martyr of the third century, were often associated with rural communities or minor pilgrimage sites.

In the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, these buildings played a central role in the spiritual and social life of the villages, serving as a gathering point for offices, employers' parties and community events. Their architecture generally reflected the local resources and craftsmanship of the time.
