THE HOLY CROSS CHURCH
Church with Romanesque door, polychrome Christ on the cross, miniature of the Virgin in a pebble and various religious art furnishings.
The Holy Cross Church, as we know it today, took shape in the fifteenth century, a period to which it was heavily renovated. From the xie and xiie centuries (construction dates), she retains the Romanesque door of Saint-Odilon (descending from the seigneurial family and auvergnate of Mercoeur), a Christ in the polychrome cross, and above all, a miniature of the Virgin shaped in a gallet. The discovery of this "miraculous" gallet is attributed to a girl, Marguerite Romeuf, who, in a game of play on the river, lives the silhouette of Mary in one of the rocks she was about to launch. Since that date, a true cult of Notre-Dame-Found has been perpetuated. The religious art furniture enclosed within the various chapels is also very interesting.
