Eglise Saint-Jacques du Bourdet

  • EGLISE ST-JACQUES (mairie du Bourdet)

Following the generosity of the seigneur of the place, the priorial church was rebuilt in 1778 on a new plot to replace the vast half-ruined shrine (located on the site of the current cemetery). In 1863, the new bell was blessed, then in 1868, the church was endowed with a neo-Romanesque apse thanks to the assistance of the commune, the department and the state. An interior renovation was carried out in 1980 (demolition of the ceiling revealing a beautiful frame). The sanctuary is restored from 1995 to 2009 (forecourt, apse, frame...).

To see: bell-tower-comb with a bay, lead vat in the baptismal font, neo-Romanesque altar (tabernacle in the shape of a church whose turrets evoke Notre-Dame de Poitiers), stained-glass windows of which that of the axial window is the only one to be historiated (representation of the patron of the church with a staff, a satchel and a pilgrim’s hat).
