Église Saint-Léger de Cheylade, Romanesque church in Cheylade, France.
Saint-Léger de Cheylade Church stands on a promontory with stone walls made from volcanic rock and features a square tower with eight openings.
The church dates from the 11th century and underwent multiple reconstructions between the 15th and 17th centuries following damages during the Hundred Years War.
The interior ceiling contains 1,360 painted squares with Christian symbols and motifs, leading to its classification as a historical monument in 1963.
The entrance consists of a small door leading to stairs that reach a balcony overlooking the interior of the church.
The church features three specific vaults that remain the only examples of their architectural style in France.
