Church of St. Pierre du Queyroix, Gothic church in Le Château, Limoges, France
The Church of St. Pierre du Queyroix is a place of worship in Limoges featuring a distinctive bell tower in the Limousin style. The interior contains several altarpieces transferred from the former Jesuit Chapel and other religious artworks.
Construction began in 1213 following a fire and blended Romanesque and Gothic elements that developed across multiple building phases. This gradual construction shaped the final appearance of the building over time.
The church displays religious furniture, statues, and gilded wood decorations from the 17th and 18th centuries that reflect the artistic taste of those times. You can see how these pieces shape the interior space and support the spiritual experience of visitors.
The church is located at Place Saint-Pierre in Limoges and welcomes visitors to explore its architecture. Guided tours available through the Tourist Office provide a way to learn about the building's features in detail.
A stunning stained glass window by master enameler Leonard Pénicaud depicts the Coronation of Mary above the main altar. This 16th-century artwork demonstrates the exceptional craft skills that made Limoges famous during that period.
