For a small village, this is a large and impressive church. It is worth stopping to take a look.

The Saint-Pardoux Church is an emblematic Romanesque building in the Dordogne region, particularly in Saint-Pardoux-et-Vielvic, and has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1925.

Built in the 12th century, it retains its single barrel-vaulted nave and a choir with a semicircular apse. A major renovation carried out in the 17th-18th centuries redefined its western façade and added a bell tower arcade.

🏛️ Architecture and Heritage
Plan and structure: a single nave preceded by a Romanesque choir, with a pointed barrel vault and triumphal arch resting on 13th-century engaged columns.

Decoration: vegetal capitals and archivolts adorned with geometric motifs (chevrons, triangles, rays), typical of Auvergne Romanesque art.

Bell tower: bell tower arcade or pediment, rebuilt in the 17th-18th centuries, typical of the Périgord region.

⛪ History
Founded in the 12th century, the church was remodeled in the 13th century with the addition of side chapels and ribbed vaults.

Its atypical structure—not oriented toward the east—reflects of a plan adapted to the terrain and the needs of the community
