Église Saint-Cyr-et-Sainte-Julitte de Saint-Cyr-la-Rosière

The Église Saint-Cyr-et-Sainte-Julitte is a church with a Romanesque-Gothic entrance portal decorated with carved stone elements. Inside, the nave leads into a fifteenth-century choir section that reveals how the building evolved architecturally over time.

The building was constructed between the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries during the Romanesque period. It received official classification as a historical monument in 1978 to protect its architectural heritage.

The Saint Sepulchre Chapel holds a colored terracotta sculpture of Christ's entombment that comes from a Renaissance workshop. This artwork shows the craftsmanship of that period and remains an important piece in the church's interior.

The church is accessible during regular opening hours and continues to serve as an active place of worship for the local community. Visitors should note that some areas may be restricted during services or religious celebrations.

The building houses the oldest known bell in the Diocese of Séez, dating from 1595 and still rung today. Four nineteenth-century paintings with optical illusion effects depicting saints decorate the interior walls.
