Châtel-Montagne, Romanesque church in Châtel-Montagne, France
The Notre-Dame church stands at the northern end of Bourbonnaise Mountain, built with beige-pink granite from local quarries and greyish granite additions from later restorations.
From 1095 to 1210, monks of Cluny expanded the original small church into a priory, which maintained its status until the end of the 15th century.
The church bells, weighing between 390 and 613 kilograms, ring in specific musical notes: F sharp for Jacqueline-Denise, A sharp for Bernadette-Marguerite-Marie, and A for the oldest bell.
The Vichy Montagne Bourbonnaise tourist office presents the church history through models, ancient books, and video presentations in its Romanesque art space.
The church clock from 1927 requires weekly manual winding and could not be installed in the bell tower due to weather conditions at the time.
