TEMPLE OF CASSAGNAS

The history of the Cassagnas temple has been turbulent. Since its construction in 1847, the temple was threatened with collapse on numerous occasions (due to poor workmanship, lightning strikes, and administrative delays). Consequently, many safety orders prohibited access to the building between various makeshift repairs. The municipality purchased it in 2007 and obtained the necessary subsidies for the restoration work, which began in 2011. The work was completed in 2013, and the temple reopened in the summer of 2014, now dedicated to artistic events and religious services. The temple, as it stands today, is remarkable for the quality of its restoration, its Doric columns, the volume of its vaults, and also for its natural setting and the views it offers.
