Attractions
Parish Church of Saint-Pierre et Saint-Paul
The oldest mention of the parish of Fargues dates back to 1255. A walled-up entrance portal decorated with a keel arch is evidence of changes at the end of the 15th or the beginning of the 16th century. In the second half of the 19th century, the building probably underwent extensive repairs that gave the church its current appearance. The two side chapels and the bell tower were added at the same time .
Parish Church of Saint Nicolas in Bovila
Bovila was a branch of Fargues and the seat of a priory that was destroyed in the Hundred Years War . Its monastery church was dedicated to St. Hilary while the parish church is dedicated to St. Nicholas of Myra . The origins of the building date from the late 12th or early 13th century. Most likely the church was largely rebuilt after a long period of ruin. Since there are no stylistic elements from the late 15th century, the new building can be assigned to the early modern period .
The apse is the best preserved part of the Romanesque building and the easiest to see from the outside. Your masonry bond is made of ashlar . It has a straight and a semicircular part, the walls of which are reinforced by buttresses that once reached the cornice that is no longer in existence today. Two of the buttresses, one in the southeast and one in the northeast, are pierced by narrow arched windows. The window in the longitudinal axis was probably reinstalled during work around 1980. The bell tower jumps out of the building on the south side of the apse . Its masonry is part of the original construction. Some stonemason's marks can be seen on the stones of the apse and the base of the bell tower: "X", "Z" and "O". The examination of the inner walls of the apse showed that the inside of the boiler vault was completely rebuilt, removing the belt arch that rested on three-quarter columns that are left today. The south side of the church has an arched, protruding door that gives access to the bell tower. Its shape can be found on the north side at the entrance to the sacristy . The three windows of the apse have preserved their structure inside, with narrow columns on the sides with capitals and sculpted arches. The capitals are decorated with plant tendrils , braided ribbons that spring from monstrous heads and animals, as well as human heads that are eaten by lions. The arched spine on the southeastern window is segmented and is reminiscent of the construction of a window in the parish church in nearby Saint-Pantaléon . In the nave , the triumphal arch shows itself as a rudiment. Broken columns on the western inner wall show that the nave must once have been a yoke longer. The capital, which today serves as the foot of the holy water font, was undoubtedly part of one of these wall pillars. The arched entrance in the south was established in the early modern period.
Parish Church in Farguettes
The parish of Farguettes was a branch of Le Boulvé. Today's church appears to be a completely new building after the Hundred Years War, in which the building material from the previous building was reused. This probably took place in the second half of the 15th century, as can be seen from the shape of the entrance portal on the south side. The south side chapel was probably added in the 19th century. Today's church consists of a single nave, two side chapels and a semicircular apse. A bell gable rises at the point between the nave and the apse. The masonry of the apse consists of reused ashlar and rubble stones . Its roof, which was previously covered with slate , is now covered with a layer of cement. The outside walls of the church are plastered. The entrance portal in the south is decorated with a pointed arch with somewhat rugged rod ornamentation.
Saint Barthélemy parish church in Mascayroles
The church also appears to be a completely new build after the Hundred Years War in the late 15th or early 16th centuries. It was restored in the 19th century and the south side chapel was added at the same time. A glass window is signed “Saint-Blancat, Toulouse”. It is a rather unpretentious building, the nave and apse of which were built from reused ashlar and rubble. In the south, the remains of a wicker entrance portal can be seen, which may have been replaced by an ogival entrance next to it and the doorway of which is visible inside. In the 19th century, today's entrance portal was opened in the west. At the same time the bell gable was erected or rebuilt. The interiors are covered with false groin vaults and false barrel vaults.
