Le bourg, 19600 Estivals
Fortified Romanesque church with barrel-vaulted nave and polygonal apse. Two slightly broken double arches on engaged columns with three geometric capitals and one with stylized leaves. Triumphal arch. Columned entrance porch with carved capitals. An arcaded gable served as bell tower. On the west side, it had a corbelled service gallery, some of whose corbels still survive. This gable is now part of the section that was raised in the 14th century to serve as a refuge and defense for the population, at a time when English bands were ravaging the country.
