Origin and history

The Temple of the Reformed Evangelical Church of Générgues is a religious monument located in the commune of Générgues in the Occitan region. Although its membership in a Protestant tradition is attested by its name, the available sources do not specify its date of foundation or the circumstances of its construction. In the general historical context, Protestant temples in Occitanie have often played a central role in the community life of the reformed populations, notably after the 1787 edict of tolerance or the 1905 law on the separation of churches and the state.

These buildings served as places of worship, but also as a gathering for sometimes marginalized communities in a predominantly Catholic territory.
