Église Saint-Jean de Grésignac, Medieval church ruins in La Chapelle-Grésignac, France.

The stone remains of Église Saint-Jean de Grésignac include two rounded arches supported by columns with cube-shaped capitals in Romanesque style.

Built in the 12th century, this religious structure lost its parish status in the 17th century when Saint-Étienne church became the primary place of worship.

The church stands near a Gallic fort designed for monitoring the Pude valley, reflecting the strategic importance of this location through centuries.

The site forms part of a hiking circuit in northern Périgord, allowing visitors to discover multiple historical structures including Beaumont Castle.

The church structure maintains its architectural elements despite its current state, offering insights into medieval religious construction techniques in Dordogne.
