Eglise Saint-Paulin de Saint-Ciers

The old parish church, dedicated to Saint-Cyr, a young martyr of the 3rd century, dates from the 12th century. The facade is from the XIVth century. An old plan shows us the primitive shape of this building surrounded by its cemetery. One notices the chapel built in 1845 to house the remains of the Marquis de Lamoignon. Its epitaph was built in 1854 in neo-gothic style by the architect Gustave Alaux and consecrated by Cardinal Donnet in 1856. The Romanesque façade has been preserved. In 1867, the Stations of the Cross were put in place, the first tribune was built, the choir was enlarged, then the steps in the church were moved forward, the altar was moved and the sacristy was enlarged.
