Attractions
Parish Church of Notre-Dame de la Nativité
It consists of a nave with a narrower apse . A side chapel and a sacristy were added to the north side at a later date. The nave measures 16.8 m in length and 9.8 m in width, the chapel 6 m in length and 3.8 m in width. The east facade is defined by a massive, unadorned bell gable without a cover or overhang . It is interrupted at the top by two identical round-arched openings that hold the two bells. At the height of the first third of the wall there is a window that lets light into the nave . The entrance portal is traditionally on the west side of the churches. This is of comparatively small size, shifted asymmetrically to the north, but now walled up. On the north side there is an entrance to the interior through the chapel, on the south side today's main entrance was created later. The archivolt above his door is embellished with a thick bead in the reveal and an outer bead with a groove and flat. The whole thing rests on fighters . The masonry of the south facade is built with stones of different sizes, and the alterations over the centuries are easy to see. It is equipped without buttresses , only at the eastern end of the nave the corner is reinforced like a wall. In contrast to the nave, the apse is made of small brickwork . It has two arched windows, one in the longitudinal axis and one to the south. Its roof is covered with flat stones and rests on a cornice with consoles , some of which are embellished with sculptures, two heads, a button-like decoration and a barrel. Between the consoles there are square intermediate fields with round holes, as is the case with the churches in Saint-Marcory and Sainte-Croix can be seen.
On the north, west and south walls there are numerous inscriptions and symbols engraved in the stones and decorations of oculi at heights between 0.5 m and 1.8 m measured from the ground. Various small geometric symbols defy interpretation. Christian crosses, on the other hand, are often found on the various walls, many in the form of paw crosses , others in the form of Latin crosses that end in triangles at the ends of their arms or carry bowls. At the western corner of the south wall a Maltese cross can be seen in a circle, the ends of the arms are decorated with three spheres. Above it is an inscription in Latin praising the Holy Cross . The north wall is interrupted by three niches that can be seen in connection with burials. The first one on the right is bricked up today. Above it runs a plant tendril engraved in the stones. It is formed from stems with six-leaf flowers at the ends. A decoration in the form of a simple rose with six leaves is placed above the left niche and two rosettes above the middle one . A Maltese cross is surrounded by six fleurons with three leaves each in the middle of one of these rosettes . On the other rosette, the six leaves of the flower nest in the middle with six other rosettes that surround it. An interesting aspect here is that this rosette has a replica at the same height inside the church. To the left of the two niches and between them there are Latin inscriptions, which have been badly damaged over time. Although the text is largely illegible, the meaning can be understood, which is inspired by the Psalms and reminds the believer of the transience of wealth and the fleetingness of time. All of these symbols and inscriptions support the hypothesis that members of the Templar Order lived or at least were buried in Lolme. An examination of the morphology of the Latin letters of the inscriptions, such as finding the complete absence of punctuation, leads them to date to the 12th or 13th century, a period. which falls exactly in the epoch of the Templars.
There is another special feature on the west facade. Several outlines of shoes, nine in number, are carved into the wall. They can be interpreted as a sign of return on a pilgrimage . According to the hypothesis of the presence of Knights Templar, the interpretation can be applied to their return from the Holy Land . The lack of overlaps or overlaps suggests a limited context and time span in which they occurred.
Inside the church, the visitor notices the reddish color of the walls, which comes from a fire that took place at an unknown time. This effect gives the interior an intense tint today. The two yokes of the nave merge into the semicircular choir , which ends at the top with an apse dome , the stones of which are covered with lime paint . The barrel vault is supported by three mighty belt arches that rest on cantilevers on both sides, connected with pilasters that are embedded in the walls but protrude slightly. The current vault is more recent than that of the original building. The fire undoubtedly made this new building necessary.
