Noailhac - Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens

"Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens" ("Saint Peter in Chains") is the parish church of Noailhac. The erection of the church started in the 12th century and was probably completed soon after.

The church got partly destroyed during the Hundred Years War, so the nave was rebuilt later in the Gothic style, reusing some of the capitals of the Romanesque structure. That was probably, when fortifications including the small turret were added.

Severely damaged again during the French Revolution and poorly repaired during the 19th century. The new facade, seen here, had to be erected about a century ago, to secure the structure.
