Notre Dame de Trois-Palis is a small church located in the center of the village. From the Romanesque period, it was listed as a historical monument in 1886. The sculptures on the facade are eye-catching.

There is no text on the consecration of the church. It is dedicated to Mary.

A must-see church for those venturing to the great west. An adorable church nestled between two houses which marks the start or finish in Angoulême

The conical spire covered with pine cone scales which rises above the square bell tower can be seen from afar. It dominates a small Romanesque building located in the heart of the town.
Its facade is divided into three floors: At the top, in the triangular gable wall, Christ in majesty is surrounded by the tetramorph (set of four symbolic representations of the evangelists: the bull of Saint Luke; the eagle of Saint John; the lion of Saint Mark; the angel of Saint Matthew). This theme is directly inspired by Saint-Pierre Cathedral in Angoulême. The central space, between the gable and the portal, is occupied by high modern reliefs representing Christ surrounded by the Virgin and Saint John. On the ground floor, the sculpture made of scrolls and animals is present on the arches of the portal.
Restored in 1891 century, the small Notre-Dame church was subject to profound modifications. A semicircular apse replaced a flat apse and the nave was vaulted.
Inside, the building consists of a single nave, divided into three bays. The walls of the nave are covered with large broken arcades. The south wall of the nave has three bays, while the north wall is blind. In the extension of the nave, a bay under the bell tower is worth paying attention to. The columns arranged in this space all feature a rich sculpted program which develops into the capitals. They are all historical and represent the themes frequently deployed near the sanctuary: original sin and the struggle between Good and Evil.
The semicircular apse replaced a flat apse in the 19th century. It is vaulted like a furnace.
Listed as a Historic Monument in 1886.
Open every day from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
