The church of Massegros is a recent church built between 1912 and 1914
Its construction is neat: the plan is composed of a central nave with its two side aisles. The square bell tower is topped by a statue of Saint-Privat, which can be seen from afar. The exterior of the building has ashlar frames and corners alternating with light-coloured plaster
The central vault is a pointed arch and the side chapels are cross-vaulted, all covered with orange plaster
The whole is slender and luminous, and numerous stained glass windows with stories decorate the side bays. Representing the Virgin Mary, Saint John, Joan of Arc, Saint Margaret or a rich donor, they contribute to the general elegance of the building
This church was built at the instigation of Abbot Casimir Privat and has served as a parish church since the transfer of the parish of Inos in 1912. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
