Sainte-Fauste Church of Bozouls, Catholic church in Bozouls, France
The church stands at the edge of a rocky promontory, overlooking the Dourdou River which forms a large natural loop below the structure.
The church dates from the 12th century and initially belonged to Saint-Amans Abbey of Rodez before being transferred to Saint-Victor Monastery of Marseille in 1079.
The church contains fifty capitals adorned with plant motifs, including a notable capital in the upper chapel featuring three figures, one playing a medieval fiddle.
The church received new chandeliers along the central nave in 2008, after removing the old gallery, enhancing the interior lighting throughout the space.
The building required structural reinforcements due to the southern chapel additions, which caused wall leaning and vault imbalances in the nave.
