The church Notre-Dame de la Rouvière is mentioned in 1123. Remarkable example of Romanesque architecture in Gévaudan, it has been classified as a Historic Monument since 1973. Surrounded by its cemetery, it is a church with a single nave with barrel vaults and finished by a five-sided apse with a dead-end vault. The bell tower-wall with two bays is placed on the western gable and dates in doubt from the 16th century. The chevet is decorated with capitals, the two southern sides of which are historiated: fabulous animals, symbols of evil, are about to devour characters and lead them to hell.
The interior is marked by the presence of preserved wall paintings. In addition to the geometrical and vegetal motifs you can discover a large panel depicting Christ in Majesty. This set was made at the end of the 14th or 15th century and represents Christ surrounded by the symbol of the four evangelists.
The church is rarely open. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
