history

The history of Église-Neuve-de-Vergt is linked to the history of the Périgord. The Dordogne and with it the municipality were involved in the Hundred Years War between 1337 and 1453 and the Huguenot Wars in the 16th and 17th centuries. The most striking incident here was the Battle of Vergt in October 1562. Due to the collection of new taxes despite a general emergency led to the rebellion of the Croquants between 1584 and 1636. In 1862 the addition "de-Vergt" was added to the name of the community to refer to it to be distinguished from other municipality with the name "Église-Neuve".

Parish Church of Saint Barthélemy

The former parish church of the community was located in the hamlet of la Parélie, about 1.5 km northwest of today's center of Église-Neuve-de-Vergt. It was destroyed by fire in the 18th century. Today's parish church is a new building from 1867. Three arched windows accentuate the nave . Two rounded windows in the flat apse let light fall into the choir . As is typical of 19th century construction, a vestibule with the bell tower above grants entrance to the building.

The interior of the church contains two paintings from the 17th century, which have been classified as movable objects as a monument historique since March 5, 1958 . The first work is a representation of Mary with baby Jesus . The frameless oil painting could be a copy of an Italian original. The second work is the altarpiece and shows the scene of the Descent from the Cross with St. Mary Magdalene , the Apostle John , Joseph of Arimathea and St. Nicodemus . The latter two hold the lifeless body of Jesus Christ . The oil painting is a copy of a painting by Hugo van der Goes that has disappeared . In 2010 this work was restored by the restorer Nathalie Legillon-Gavin.
