Collégiale Saint-Médard de Saugues
Collégiale Saint-Médard de Saugues, Gothic church in Saugues, France
The Saint-Médard church features an octagonal bell tower above the porch, with a western facade built from Volvic stone in the 19th century.
Originally belonging to the Cluniac priory of Lavoûte-Chilhac, the church received historical monument status in 1831 and underwent multiple reconstructions between the 12th and 19th centuries.
The church serves as a meeting point for pilgrims traveling from Puy-en-Velay, Puy-de-Dôme, and Cantal regions, maintaining centuries-old religious traditions.
Visitors can discover the church's architectural evolution through guided tours that explain the various construction periods visible in different sections of the building.
The entrance portal displays intricate sculptures and two guardian statues representing Saint Roch and Saint Médard, crafted from different types of stone.
