Notre-Dame de Ronzières in Tourzel-Ronzières

Identifiable thanks to its bell tower from the 19th century in a shape of a dome and thanks to its imposing Virgin statue, the church of Ronzières is devoted to Notre-Dame and to Saint-Baudime, one of the first evangelists of Auvergne. Going inside by the arch portal from the 15th century, under a porch added in the 17th century, you’ll discover in the northern chapel from the 13th century (restored in 1882), a “Virgin with a child” (Historical Monument in 1908) in polychrome wood related to virgins in Romanesque majesty of Auvergne. The Marian piety began by Saint-Baudime provoked a radiant pilgrimage around the diocese of Clermont for this statue full of legendary traditions.
