Commanderie des Templiers et Chapelle Saint Fiacre de Paulhac

Paulhac, a small village in the Creuse region, is one of the most pleasant in the area and is home to a remarkable Templar commandery. Built in the middle of the 12th century, the Paulhac commandery is a typical example of rural Limousin Gothic architecture, having served as a model for other Templar buildings in the area, such as Blaudeix, Chamberaud and Saint Moreil. Dating from the late 13th century, the large frescoes displayed here are one of Paulhac's major attractions.
The Chapelle Saint Fiacre (Saint Fiacre Chapel), adjacent to the church and probably an oratory in the cemetery, features a symbolic flamboyant pediment? A keystone bears the coat of arms of Pierre d?Aubusson, lord of Merchois, Grand Master of the Hospitallers. The delicate sculpture of a dove adorns the central arch.
