Origin and history

Saint-Saturnin de Faux is a monument located in the commune of Faux-en-Périgord, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The available data do not specify its period of construction or its detailed history, but its name suggests a connection with Saturnin, a saint often associated with the first Christian communities in Gaul. Rural churches such as Faux-en-Périgord played a central role in the life of medieval and modern villages.

They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for community events, reflecting the social and religious organization of the local population.
