Eglise Saint Pierre de Puisseguin

It is a building of Romanesque origin, of which only the polylobed portal and the nave remain. The church of Saint-Pierre de Puisseguin has preserved its western Romanesque facade dating from the end of the 12th century, as has the church of Saint-Pierre de Petit-Palais. Its polychromy has been preserved, making it the only example in the region. It is framed by two blind arches and is preceded by a modern porch. The social role of the religious building in this parish is illuminated by the presence of this porch which served as a meeting and market place, and by the funerary litre. With a Latin cross plan, the nave is composed of two bays with barrel vaults and round arches. Two barrel vaulted chapels added in 1786 form the arms of the transept. The Gothic chevet is flat-bottomed. The neoclassical bell tower stands on the western façade.
