Senez - Cathedral
The cathedral in the small village of Senez, was once the center of an diocese, founded within the
5th century and existing upto the French Revolution . It was constructed between 1176 and 1246.
The building suffered during the Wars of Religion, but the romanesque structure is still visible.
Today probably the whole population of Senez (less than 200) would find a seat here.
Looking to the apse, you´ll notice not only the lots of stalls, but left and right on the walls huge tapestries from the 16th and 17th century. I learned, that when Napoleon I rushed north via a road, today known as "Route Napoleon", he made a break here (March 1815), visited the church - and admired these tapestries.
