The original temple was destroyed during the Wars of Religion, and a new temple was built at the beginning of the 19th century.
Mouchamps was for a long time a reformist fief in this region of France, "the Geneva of Poitou". To the point that in the 16th century most of the town's inhabitants had converted to Protestantism. On the orders of Richelieu, not only was the temple razed, but the famous medieval fortress of Mouchamps was also destroyed. Today, only a few ramparts and the church of Saint-Pierre remain.
