    Tips

    The church of La Roche-Posay appears rather austere from the outside, but appearances can be deceiving. Inside, you'll find details you wouldn't immediately expect in such a small spa town:
    – stained-glass windows that make the entire interior glow in the right light,
    – Romanesque elements dating back to the 11th and 12th centuries,
    – and a strikingly massive bell tower that also once served a defensive function.


    Fun fact: the church has always been the heart of the pilgrimage route, long before La Roche-Posay became known for its thermal springs. Travelers came here to pray before continuing on to the Creuse Valley.

      The origins of the church date back to 1099. It was built at the instigation of Pope Urban II.
