ROMANESQUE CHURCH OF SAINT LUCIA

Romanesque, Church and Priory

in SAINT-LEGER-DE-PEYRE

A small Romanesque building that has weathered the storms of history, the church has been extensively remodeled. The porch-like portal provides access, on the right side, to the single nave, separated from the apse by two pilasters. The heptagonal chancel is decorated with corbels of soft stone, eroded by time, sculpted with human and animal heads. The double-arched porch, accessible from the outside by a granite staircase, houses two bells. The larger one, Marie-Lucie, cast by Joseph Pierre of Avignon, was donated by JB Remise and F. Jarousse; Bishop Remise was its godfather. The 12th-century church is being restored by the "Friends of Saint Lucy" association.
