Ussac - Saint-Julien

A parish existed in Ussac already in 945. Today´s church is a little younger and may have been built in the 12th century, at that time dedicated to St. Pardoux. In the 14th century the dedication changed to St. Julien de Brioude. At that time the Romanesque church had a single nave, extended by a polygonal apse. After the severe damage due to the War of Religions the church was partly rebuilt and enlarged in the 17th century.
