BERTHOLENE , Aveyron – Cultural heritage
About
A picturesque village whose tangled roofs can be seen from the road to the north-west of the village. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
Small, partly renovated Gothic church.
Open on request.
Used to be an annex of Anglars.
Altarpiece behind the main altar (18th) with a picturesque polychrome Virgin Mary above the tabernacle. This one dates from the 14th century, but has many Romanesque features.
In the right-hand chapel, a carved wooden altarpiece of Saint Roch. The saint and his dog are gilded, contrasting with the rest of the altarpiece, which has retained the beautiful color of the wood: the dog is admirable in its naiveté.
Old well in front of the church. At the crossroads, a carved 14th-century cross: “this is the cross of justice that would have stood next to the pillory”. It has 2 peculiarities: no cross behind the Christ with splayed feet and seated figures on both sides. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
