Lubersac - Saint-Étienne

Romans had been here during Hadrian´s time and where they had erected a temple, a small church got built mid 10th century. This structure got rebuilt and enlarged already within the 11th/12th century. Looted and damaged a century later, it got rebuilt, altered, enlarged, extended and strongly fortified. Within the structure, some parts of the 12th century structure survived the times.

Despite the many alterations undertaken, many of the Romanesque capitals can still be found in the nave and the choir. An accidental combination of bad light conditions and a personal hypoglycemia lead to blurry photos. Sorry!

Here is the "Presentation of Jesus at the Temple".

Luke 2:22

"Now when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord"
