Origin and history

The Temple of the United Protestant Church of France of Cap Ferret is a place of worship located in the commune of Mérignac, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Although its exact construction period is not specified in the available sources, it embodies the historical presence of Protestantism in this region, often marked by religious and cultural diversity. In the broader context of New Aquitaine, Protestant temples played an important role in community life, especially after periods of religious conflict in France.

These buildings served not only as places of prayer, but also as gathering centres for the faithful, reflecting the values of tolerance and openness inherent in this confession.
