Before the French Revolution in 1789, the Catholic Church owned approximately 10% of the land in France. This vast amount of land included not only church buildings and properties but also agricultural land and other assets. The confiscation of church lands was a significant part of the revolutionary reforms, as they aimed to reduce the power of the Church and redistribute land to the populace.
