About this building

Located in Devillac in Lot-et-Garonne, the parish church of St. Bartholomew dates from the twelfth century. The small cemetery that surrounds it is itself surrounded by a wall of Romanesque style. The building is composed of a single nave ending in a round Romanesque apse.

In the 16th century, while the nave was undergoing major reconstruction work, a triangular wall-tower was added, which I decorated with a round skylight. The chapel to the north dates from this period, and the former presbytery, which dates back to the 17th and 18th centuries, is connected to the south of the church. This charming church is decorated with several paintings and has some stained glass windows.

The peculiarity of this building lies mainly in the old slate roof (flat stones) placed on a stone vault, above the choir.

Church of Saint-Martin, Cahuzac

The chapel of Cahuzac Castle was built between 1500 and 1600. The building is a rare example of late Gothic style in the area. In 1771, with the old parish church of the village having been destroyed, the baroness of La Rochefoucauld gave up the chapel of the castle to the inhabitants of the parish of Cahuzac. The church was restored in the 1880s, and the stained glass windows are from this restoration.
