ÉGLISE SAINT-MAURICE
SAINT-JUERY , Lozère – Cultural heritage
About
Built after the Second World War, the church of Saint-Juéry is a contemporary building with an original architecture. It is one of the exceptions in the Hautes-Terres region, proudly displaying an arrow-shaped bell tower.
The walls are decorated with panelling and only a few elements stand out from this homogeneity, such as the wrought iron high altar. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
The present church of Saint-Juéry dates from the middle of the 20th century and is therefore not very old
Its architecture is very particular and shows its modernity. It is one of the three exceptions in the Highlands region with a steeple and not a comb steeple or a wall steeple. Its originality also lies in the absence of radiating chapels and a projecting transept.
Its decoration and interior architecture are equally special. The church has a single nave, vaulted with a pointed arch, linking the nave to the choir in a single continuity. The nave and choir are entirely decorated with oak panelling, from floor to ceiling, to match the furniture. Only a few elements stand out, such as the wrought iron high altar. It was made by a local artist and represents Christian motifs, fish symbolizing the gathering of believers, and plants. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
