Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Loubeyrat

The Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Loubeyrat is a 19th-century church built from local dark stone with Gothic-style elements and a pointed spire. The building shows a straightforward, well-planned design with decorative stonework details throughout.

The church was built in 1872 to replace an earlier structure that once stood on the same ground. It gained official protection as a historical monument in 2000.

The carved wooden panels and altar area inside show how regional craftspeople worked during that period. These handcrafted pieces give a sense of the skills that existed in the area.

The building is located in the village center of Loubeyrat and is accessible from the outside year-round. In September, visitors can get a better look inside during the Heritage Days celebration.

The grounds also host a convent of nursing sisters established in 1866 to serve rural communities. This religious community has shaped the site's role in local village life.
