Loubressac Village

Perched high up, the village and its buildings are matched only by the beauty of the views over the Dordogne valley.

The townscape of Loubressac, which in its entirety looks medieval and idyllic, has changed somewhat in recent years due to a few new buildings, but all new buildings have been clad in natural stone. To the north, there is a good view over the Dordogne valley.
Loubressac Castle is a rather inconspicuous 15th-17th century building, apart from its large portico tower with a coat of arms. It is privately owned and can not be visited.
The Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste appears from the outside like a small manor house with a tower. The portal, badly damaged in the Huguenots Wars (1562-1598), shows figures of Adam and Eve and a Christ in the Mandorla; on the portal walls is a chain with scallops. The interior of the church is single-nave with a - painted in the 19th century - rib vault provided. Four side chapels open the room and at the same time serve to stabilize the walls. The apse is decorated with Baroque figures: Crucifixion in the middle, Apostle figures on the side. The church was classified in 1971 as a monument historique.

Very beautiful village, to see!
