Origin and history

The Church of the Exaltation-de-la-Sainte-Croix de Plaines-Saint-Lange is a religious monument located in the municipality of the same name. Although its precise history is not documented in available sources, its name evokes a dedication to the Christian Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, celebrated on September 14. In the Greater East, local churches played a central role in community life, serving as a place of worship, gathering and identity marker for the inhabitants.

These buildings, often built or modified over the centuries, reflect the evolution of religious and architectural practices of their time.
