Origin and history

The Temple des Prés is a monument located in the commune of Les Prés, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The available data do not specify its exact architectural type or its original function, but its name suggests a religious or community vocation. In this region, buildings designated as " temples" were often linked to Protestant communities, especially after the Reformation in the 16th century.

However, without further information, it is impossible to precisely date its construction or determine its historical role in local life. These monuments generally served as places of worship, assembly or identity symbols for surrounding populations.
