SAINT-MAURICE CHURCH

The current church of Saint-Juéry dates from the mid-20th century and is therefore not very old. Its architecture is quite distinctive and reflects its modernity. It is one of only three exceptions in the Hautes-Terres region to feature a spire rather than a bell gable or a bell tower. Its originality also lies in the absence of radiating chapels and a projecting transept. Its decoration and interior architecture are equally unique. The church has a single nave, vaulted with a pointed arch, connecting the nave to the chancel in a continuous flow. The nave and chancel are entirely paneled in oak, from floor to ceiling, thus matching the furnishings. Only a few elements stand out, such as the wrought-iron high altar. It was crafted by a local artist and depicts Christian motifs, with fish symbolizing the gathering of believers, and plants.
