Visit a church, to admire its chestnut bell tower, with remains of fortification and housing beautiful sculptures
The church of Saint-Symphorien dates back to the 13th century, but it was extensively altered between the 15th and 16th centuries when three chapels were added. Its bell tower made of chestnut shingles is typical of Creuse. If one pays attention, one can notice vestiges of fortification (machicolation and remains of the parapet walk at the chevet). Between its walls, the church houses beautiful sculptures: a Christ on the cross and a group representing Saint Anne, the Virgin and Child Christ (16th century). One can also admire restored medieval paintings, but unfortunately incomplete: a calendar of works and days, Saint Roch, Saint Nicholas and the three children in the salt cellar, the open mouth of Hell and Christ surrounded by the Apostles. Red ochre and yellow ochre hues dominate.
