Bourg de Confolent Port Dieu

Confolent-Port-Dieu is a recent commune. In fact, the village of Port-Dieu, which gave its name to the first commune, was swallowed up in 1951 by the waters of the Bort-les-Orgues dam. The hamlet of Confolent, built on the heights and thus saved from the waters, was consequently established as a town and took the name of Confolent-Port-Dieu. And so, when the dam was impounded, a new commune was born. A church and a town hall were then built by EDF in the centre of the new village. This contemporary church is now the parish church. However, Confolent-Port-Dieu has two other religious buildings that bear witness to a rich medieval past.
