Origin and history

The Protestant Temple of Collorgues is a place of worship located in the municipality of the same name, in the Occitan region. This monument, whose exact period of construction is not specified in the available sources, bears witness to the historical presence of a Protestant community in this rural area of southern France. In Occitan villages, Protestant temples often played a central role in community life, especially after the Reformation.

These buildings served not only as places of worship, but also as gathering points for the inhabitants, reflecting local religious and social traditions. Their architecture, generally sober, is part of the cultural and historical landscape of the region.
