St-Pierre-le-Clair
St-Pierre-le-Clair is the ruin of a Romanesque church near Bouriège in the Aude department in France .
history
The church, consecrated to St. Simon Peter , was built in the 11th or 12th century as a church in the village of the same name, Saint-Pierre-le-Clair, which has now become deserted . It corresponded to a typical Romanesque village church of the region with a single nave long house with a recessed semicircular apse in the east. It was first mentioned in 1176. The church was initially a separate church and was donated to Fontfroide Abbey in 1210 by Bertrand de Niort . This in turn left St-Pierre-le-Clair to the Abbey of Alet-les-Bains in exchange for other lands. The village was probably given up in the 13th century.
After 2013, large parts of the desert were built over with the construction of six wind turbines . However, the church ruins remained immediately to the north of enclosure no.
