Description

The oldest parts of Tarnac's Romanesque church date back to the 12th century. It is dedicated to St. George (an escutcheon depicting the knight slaying the dragon still adorns the entrance door). The church features two adjoining naves. A Romanesque nave was joined in the 14th century by a second Gothic nave with three bays, ending in a flat chevet to the east and a bell-wall to the west. The interior is accessed via a beautiful frieze-chapiteau portal, open to the north and framed by two bas-reliefs. The interior features a 17th-century altarpiece and mural painting. Free admission. The church is open daily.
