Church of Saint-Sulpice

The land belonged to the Abbey of Lezat and was given to the Order of the Hospital between 1120 and 1214. A bastide was created there in 1257 by Alfonso de Poitiers, to whom the Hospitallers ceded the high jurisdiction over this territory. 15th century building, restored in the 19th century, in which mural paintings from the 16th century were found.

About this building

Built in brick, it is built on the Languedoc plan: a single nave flanked by six chapels. Five-sided apse. Bell tower-porch flanked by the chapel of the baptismal font. On a square base, it rises on three polygonal floors, the last two of which are each provided with sixteen tiered bays with fillings, framed by small columns. Thirty-two heads of men and animals separate the floors. The upper part ends with a pyramidal arrow. At the base of this arrow, a circulation runs around the bell tower.
