Chapelle Saint-Étienne d'Issensac

The chapel incorporates stone masonry construction with red-tiled roofing, featuring a semi-circular apse and strong buttresses supporting the choir nave.

Built in the 12th century along a pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, the chapel served as the parish church until Protestants set fire to it.

The structure stands as a testament to medieval religious architecture, with its double-embayed windows, Lombard arcades, and curved portal with four voussoirs.

Located at coordinates 43.8433 latitude and 3.70083 longitude, visitors can find the chapel by following the D1 road in Brissac.

The remains of a medieval village still exist near the chapel, particularly to the south, marking the location of former inhabitants until the 18th century.
