Eglise Sainte-Madeleine

Description

It has had several patron saints. Today, it is dedicated to St. Madeleine. Parts of the church are very old
parts of the church, notably the barrel vaults, which date its construction to between 1150 and 1220. It features modillions in the purest Romanesque style, with human and animal heads, including the devil. The walls feature 2 types of stone, easily distinguishable (for example, in the porch): the pink stones are those of the former building, which burned down during the Wars of Religion (second half of the 16th century, particularly around 1590 with the fratricidal struggles between the League and Protestants). Before 1827, the church had a bell tower-wall with a campanile of four bells, typical of the region. The building was restored in the 17th and 19th centuries, as it was in danger of collapsing.
