Église Notre-Dame du Puy, Romanesque church in Figeac, France.

The Église Notre-Dame du Puy features substantial stone walls, rounded arches, and a commanding position overlooking the entire town of Figeac.

Construction of the church began in the late 12th century and continued through the 14th century, incorporating various architectural modifications over time.

The church contains numerous carved capitals and a large walnut altarpiece from 1696, representing medieval religious craftsmanship of the region.

Located at 7-13 Place des Mirepoises in Figeac, the church stands near the Musée Champollion and other historical buildings in the town center.

During the Religious Wars of 1576, the church served as a fortress after Protestant forces captured the town of Figeac.
