Église Saint-Sulpice-et-Saint-Roch de Vézac

This church in Vézac is a stone building with a rectangular choir and a semi-circular apse reinforced by buttresses on the exterior. The nave features arched bays, and decorative corbels carved in stone run along the cornice of the apse, showing typical regional construction methods.

Construction of this building took place over several centuries, with sections from the 12th, 13th, and 15th centuries that make up its current form. This extended building process shows how the church evolved and was modified through different periods.

The interior chapel displays four preserved stone capitals from the 12th century carved with religious and plant motifs that visitors can still see today. These hand-carved details reflect the skilled craftsmanship that went into creating this sacred space.

The bell tower is accessed by climbing a stone spiral staircase that connects the interior to the upper levels where the two bells are located. Visitors should be prepared for tight spiral passages and wear sturdy shoes for the narrow steps.

The corbels on the apse cornice were recorded and sketched by researcher Léo Drouyn in the 1800s, creating a visual archive of these carved details. These historical records help visitors understand what these architectural features originally looked like.
