Origin and history

The church Saint-Pierre-aux-Liens is a monument located in the commune of Sourribes, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The available data do not specify its period of construction or its detailed history, but its name evokes a connection with St Peter, the apostle and major figure of Christianity. In rural areas such as Souribes, parish churches played a central role in community life.

They served as a place of worship, assembly and identity marker for the inhabitants, often around agricultural and craft activities typical of mountainous or semi-rural areas.
