ÉGLISE SAINT BARTHÉLÉMY - JAUZÉ

A surprising church next to a thousand-year-old yew tree!

The date of construction is a mystery, but some texts refer to major works in the 15th century.

Originally consisting of a single nave, the building was later extended to include a sacristy in the 17th century and a ballet (also known as a caquetoire) at the end of the 18th century.

Surrounded by its cemetery, some of whose tombs date back to the 19th century, the church's neighbour is a thousand-year-old yew tree classified as a remarkable tree.

A little architectural originality: the transept is covered by a hull-shaped roof that evokes the lower part of an overturned ship.

Inside, you can admire various statues (Sainte Thérèse, Saint Antoine, etc.), a banner, a Virgin and Child and a 19th-century altarpiece.
