Église de Veyrières
Le Bourg, 19200 Veyrières
- Corrèze
- Nouvelle-Aquitaine
This small 12th century Romanesque church is interesting on many sides. First of all its tower bell tower, pierced by twin bays of the fifteenth, which rises above the heart, houses one of the oldest bells of Corrèze (1466).
The portal on the facade enhanced with sculpted colonnettes and boudins of Limousin style has retained old hinges of doors: we can have fun to see the heads of birds or stylised wolves.
Upon entering, you will be surprised by the wooden nave that echoes the oak floor, the recently restored walls make appear an exceptional funerary liter. This mural was created to decorate the church during the burials of the lords of the village in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: there are the coats of arms of the families Soudeilles and Soudeilles-Sédières. The altar, on its front, is a sculpted representation of the Last Supper. It is surmounted by a tabernacle. Together they form a very colorful ensemble.
The church is dedicated to Saint Roch. The saint who is invoked
