Église Notre-Dame-du-Bourg
Église Notre-Dame-du-Bourg, Medieval church in Rabastens, France
Notre-Dame-du-Bourg church features a rectangular nave measuring 29 meters long and 12 meters wide, supported by stone twin columns and pointed arches.
Benedictine monks from Moissac Abbey established the church in the 12th century at the crossroads of the Lyon-Toulouse route and the fertile Tarn valley.
The interior walls display 14th-century frescoes depicting scenes from the Virgin Mary's life, discovered in 1860 beneath layers of lime coating.
The church remains closed to visitors throughout 2023 due to extensive restoration work on its structure and artistic elements.
Eight decorative columns from the original Romanesque portal survive, representing the only remaining architectural elements from the first construction phase.
