history

The place name was first mentioned in the 12th century, but the place seems to have already existed in the early Middle Ages . It belonged to the Abbey of Gellone , but was later taken over by the Knights Templar , whose properties were confiscated between 1307 and 1312 and most of them passed to the Johanniter . The Hundred Years War began in 1337; in the Peace of Brétigny (1360) Sainte-Eulalie came to the English ; a few years later (1377) the place and its castle were destroyed. Further destruction resulted from mutual attacks during the Huguenot Wars (1562–1598)

Attractions

  • Some preserved capitals and console figures still bear witness to the Romanesque origins of the single-nave Sainte-Eulalie priory church . However, the building itself suffered destruction in later times due to wars and new construction measures. Parts of the stone-faced facade are made of house stones, others are made of rubble stones ; the outer walls of the nave are plastered.
  • The Château de Belsis dates from the 18th century and is located about 1 km northwest of the village in a wood.
  • The Ormeaux Mill is a beautifully restored 18th century watermill .
