The chapel of Brax was built in the 13th century, without it being possible to identify its owner with certainty. Parish church or chapel? To this day, the sources remain silent on this subject.
The indication "parish of Brax" or "Brachs" appears in 1307. Until the end of the century, it was dependent on the archpriesthood of Cernès and paid tithes to the Collège Saint-André of Bordeaux.
In the 15th century, no ancient text or account book mentions it. However, in the archives of the diocese of Bordeaux, a "chapel of Lerre" is mentioned in Landiras. Is it Brax?
From the beginning of the 17th century until 1763, it belonged to the priory of Bardenac and to the Society of Jesus, which undertook transformation work. During the French Revolution, it was bought by Joachim de Chalup who transformed it into a farm, then it was definitively abandoned.
