The Church of Our Lady of the Navitiy was built in the 12th century. This Romanesque-style monument was considerably altered with age, so much so that only the foundations are original today. The walls, for example, were raised shortly after the Hundred Years' War to allow refuge rooms to be built under the roof. The Romanesque façade, for its part, was remodeled during the Gothic period. The use of grison, a local grey stone very common in this area of Charente, limited the sculpted decoration to its strictest expression; this stone was unsuitable for sculpture. On the other hand, the church has a painted fresco, rediscovered in the sanctuary during restoration work. Like all medieval churches, Notre-Dame de Brossac was once surrounded by its cemetery, abandoned in 1843. Outside, in the north wall of the nave, there remain two funerary recesses intended to shelter the burial of high-ranking figures. https://www.sauvegardeartfrancais.fr/projets/brossac-eglise-notre-dame-de-la-nativite
