Tips

Stéphane Leblanc

October 18, 2021

In 1146, the church was donated to the Abbey of Saint-Cybard by Pope Eugene III. It was largely ruined by the Calvinists, then restored after 1631 and in the 19th century. The fortified barrel-vaulted narthex opens onto a three-bay nave, vaulted in 1872 with a brick cradle. A large doubleau separates the nave from the false square surmounted by a ribbed vault. The choir, raised by two steps, is surmounted by a ribbed vault decorated with triple toric rafters. The berries are surrounded by bezants or facing sawtooths. The entire bedside can be dated to the third third of the 12th century. The exterior was redesigned at the time of the Hundred Years' Wars: on the facade remain the consoles of a bretèche. A small quadrangular bell tower has been mounted on the top of the gable. The walls of the nave have been raised. The windows received large interior embrasures to facilitate the shooting of crossbowmen and narrowed on the exterior. This church was linked to the castle. It materializes the different ideas on restoration over the centuries.
