Église Notre-Dame du Puy, Romanesque church in Figeac, France.
Église Notre-Dame du Puy is a Romanesque church with thick stone walls, rounded arches, and sits elevated above the town of Figeac. The large building commands the surrounding area and displays the characteristic features of Romanesque design.
Construction began in the late 12th century and continued for several centuries with various architectural changes made over time. During the 1500s, the building served as a fortress when religious conflicts swept through the region.
The church displays carved stone details and a large wooden altarpiece from the 1600s that show the religious craftsmanship valued in this region. Visitors can see these works and understand what mattered to people who lived here centuries ago.
The church is located in the town center of Figeac near other historical buildings and is easy to reach on foot. The elevated position helps you get your bearings when exploring the old town.
In 1576, the building was converted into a fortress after Protestant forces captured the town, with windows reinforced with stone. This military phase left marks on the walls that you can still spot today if you look carefully.
