Église Saint Félix de Valcebollère

The Saint Felix Church stands at an elevation of 1,200 meters in the Pyrénées-Orientales department, featuring thick stone walls and a traditional bell tower.

First documented in 1219, the church underwent substantial renovations in 1867, incorporating Romanesque architectural elements while preserving sections of its original walls.

The annual Saint Felix celebration on August 1st includes an outdoor Mass in Catalan, reflecting the strong regional heritage of this mountain community.

Located near the Spanish border, the church remains an active religious center for the 35 residents of Valcebollère and neighboring communities.

The church's stone plaque, crafted from local slate, represents a continuation of village decorative traditions established by former council member Pierre Giraud.
