Église Notre-Dame de Mousty

Notre-Dame de Mousty Church exhibits thick walls, rounded arches, and a stone tower characteristic of Romanesque architectural principles from multiple construction periods.

The church construction began in the 10th century on a site believed to contain remnants of a Gallo-Roman villa, with significant modifications during the 18th century.

The church maintains regular religious services while functioning as a central gathering point for local community events and social activities in Céroux-Mousty.

The church contains a preserved Romanesque crypt with a central pillar, accessible through the nave and illuminated by original window openings.

Archaeological elements from the ancient Gallo-Roman villa were integrated into the church walls during its construction, particularly visible in the square chevet.
