The fortified village of Plauzat

This old fortified village dates back to the 15th century. It has a Romanesque church, constructed in arkoses in the 11th and 12th centuries (the domed choir and transept are masterpieces of the Romanesque art), then fortified and expanded at the 14th century, at the gothic period (two lateral naves). It is listed Historical Monument since 1862. It was the old chapel of the castle, which became later a priory church. The seigneurial castle, as for it, dates back to the 14th century. It has been reworked several times during History and corresponds nowadays to the town hall. You will also find a beautiful fountain decorated with lions and mermaids by the sculptor Louis Gourmier (1832-1901).
