The most beautiful religious buildings Corrèze

This chapel was built in the th century, at a time when the cemetery of the St. Martin Church was transferred to the city hospital. It underwent a change in the th century when the brotherhood of blue Krajina (whose spirituality is inspired by the Franciscan ideal) settled there. A pole of religious arts at the Musée du Pays d'Ussel, it contains beautiful collections of art and religious ethnography. It contains a magnificent golden altarpiece, works by Paul Delimosin (1711), a Pentecôte Frères (1664), a socket in champlevé enamel from the early th century as well as polychrome wooden statues.

Located at the top of Pasteur Street, La Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-la-Chabanne is a rural chapel, which benefits from calm and a green setting away from the city. His view dominates the town of Ussel. Built in the mid th century as a chamber, it is characterized by its large and massive walls surmounted by a large slate roof. His bell was the subject of three restorations: one in 1750, the other in the aftermath of the Second World War and the last in 1993. This religious building has a glazed dome painted in 169, the realization of which would be attributed to Jean Jaloustre, a painter from the nearby small town of Meymac (according to the Ussel tourist office). The ancient statue of the Virgin was destroyed in 1793. The stone sculpture of the Virgin to the Child, whose base is adorned with two bumble and Coquilles shells, dates back to the th century. The statue, now visible above the door, is a copy; The original was deposited at the Doubs Chapel (at the bottom of Pasteur Street).

The building is located in the place of La Coomb, in a curve opposite and at the height of Curemonte. The church is one of the oldest in Corrèze in the th century. The missing parts and ouvertures show that it has crossed the ages by limits. In a primitive Romanesque style, it marks the spirits by its sobriety and compact shape, due in particular to the disappearance of a second nave in the north. Large stone slabs on the main nave lead to the polygonal form and the very simple decoration. The collapsed vault was replaced by a chapente. Children like the least young can have fun looking for the sculpted shapes on the modillons that support cornices. It is no longer a place of worship but hosts summer exhibitions (paintings, sculptures or photos) organized by the Friends of Curemonte.

Just two kilometres from the castle, this parish church, which is majestic and solitary in the countryside, is worth a look at the castle. After founding castrum de Pompadour, Guy de Lastours rebuilt at the beginning of the th century the church of Arnac. He decided to transfer the relics of Saint Pardoux and set up a priory that he entrusted to the Saint Martial Abbey in Limoges. The church is then dedicated to Saint Peter, and a small monastery (now disappeared) is added to it. The Romanesque art lovers overlooks the architecture presenting a unique nave with three spans as well as the remarkable set of historiés capitals, production of the sculptors of Bas-Limousin in the th century. On its western facade in broken arches, the first Gothic limousin, three niches houses statues, the Virgin virgin surrounded by Saint Martial, left and Saint Pardoux, on the right.
