Origin and history

The Protestant temple of Tourgueille is a religious monument located in the commune of Saint-André-de-Valborgne. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its date of construction or the circumstances of its foundation. This place of worship is part of the Protestant landscape of the Cevennes, a region marked by a strong history reformed since the 16th century.

Protestant temples in this rural and mountainous area have often played a central role in community life. They served not only as a place of prayer, but also as a gathering point for the inhabitants, reflecting the importance of the reformed faith in the local social and cultural organization.
