Cognat-Lyonne - Sainte-Radegonde

The little, romanesque church stands isolated on a little hill, next to the graveyard of Cognat-Lyonne. Upto January 1569, the village was all around the church, but during the Wars of Religions, a battle between Protestants and Catholics took place here and the village got totally destroyed.
When the village got rebuilt later, a place some hundered meters north was chosen, leaving the old parish church alone on the hill.
