À propos du lieu

Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste

8 rue Émile de Girardin, 23400 Bourganeuf

Creuse
Nouvelle-Aquitaine

The Hospitallers of Saint John of Jerusalem founded an establishment in Bourganeuf in the 12th century, including a chapel dedicated to this religious order. In the 15th century, with the development of the preceptory, the religious building was enlarged and transformed into a parish church. The wall paintings, restored in the 20th century, have been beautifully enhanced. A historic organ, the oldest in the region, sits in the church gallery.
