Origin and history

The Temple of the United Protestant Church of France of Cros is a religious monument located in the municipality of Cros, in the Occitan region. This Protestant place of worship bears witness to the historical presence of reformed communities in this region of southern France. Although the exact period of its construction is not specified, its existence reflects the sustainable implantation of Protestantism in this area.

In the regional context of Occitanie, Protestant temples often played a central role in community life, especially after the French Revolution and the legal recognition of non-Catholic cults. These buildings served not only as places of prayer, but also as gathering points for the faithful, strengthening social and cultural ties within villages and small towns.
