Le Châtelet - Notre-Dame-de-Puyferrand
Puyferrand (= Puy-Ferrand) is a small hamlet, that is part of the small town Le Châtelet. The church was part of a priory, sponsored by the Seigneurs de Déols, existed here since 1070. As the church as well served the growing parish, the church got enlarged already within the 12th century by an additional nave, named "Chapelle Saint-Blaise".
The church was built following the blueprint of a "Latin Cross" with a long nave crossed by a transept. Seen here is the crossing.
The church got severely damaged in 1569 during the Wars of Religion. The structure was rebuilt later. The once semicircular central apse got demolished in the early 19th century, so the wall in the background is only about 200 years old.
The church was locked, but a friendly lady from Le Châtelet´s tourist office arived with the key and opened the doors. Merci beaucoup!
