Châteauponsac, le sentier de Létrade

Installé dans un ancien prieuré bénédictin du XIV siècle, le premier musée ethnographique du Limousin présente des collections de la vie quotidienne en Limousin aux XIX et XX siècles : cuisine limousine, chambre de petites filles, ateliers de menuisier, de vannier, de forgeron. Les reconstitutions vous feront découvrir les racines de la mémoire limousine.

Cité de caractère typiquement limousine, Châteauponsac est située sur un site naturel protégé, qui domine les vallées de la Gartempe et de la Semme. De l'église Saint-Thyrse en passant par le faubourg du Moustier, la voie romaine, les maisons anciennes, tout invite à la découverte.

L'église Saint-Thyrse possède une architecture à la fois romane et gothique. Elle possède une nef à bas-côtés, un transept saillant, un clocher de croisée... Elle a été classée aux Monuments Historiques en 1910. Construite au XIe siècle par des moines bénédictins. Après des destructions dues à la Guerre de 100 ans, elle fut restaurée dans le style gothique.
