Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Saint-Chély-du-Tarn

The church features a single nave extended by a pentagonal apse, decorated with antique-inspired capitals and constructed with ochre-colored limestone and tuff stone.

First documented in 1155, this religious building was originally connected to the Sainte-Enimie monastery and received historical monument status in 1984.

The interior displays eighteenth-century floral paintings adorning the apse panels, while a remarkable Romanesque capital depicting Adam and Eve stands above the portal.

Located in Saint-Chély-du-Tarn village, the church remains open year-round for individual visits without admission fees and offers downloadable documentation about its heritage.

The church integrates with a natural spring, where a chapel named La Cénarète closes the entrance to a cave containing a small lake.
