Évol Church of Saint Andrew

The Saint Andrew church features a Latin cross layout with a nave leading to a semicircular apse and includes a bell tower on its southern side.

The church, initially constructed during the 11th century, received its historical monument classification in 1943 and maintained religious services until the early 17th century.

The church incorporates a conjuratory consisting of two stone arcades where priests performed ceremonies to protect the community from unfavorable weather conditions.

The church contains multiple religious artifacts from the 13th to 18th centuries, including altarpieces and silverware that received historical monument status.

The structure displays unusually wide lesenes separating its Lombard arcatures, setting it apart from typical Romanesque architectural patterns of the period.
