Collégiale Saint Philippe et Saint Jacques

At first called Notre Dame, its construction dates back from the foundation of the bastide in 1255. The dimensions were more modest at the beginning. A number of styles can be seen, attributable to conversions, constructions, or destructions the monument has had to endure.

Chapelle de Luzanet

 

Chapelle de Luzanet

The Luzanet church is a masterpiece of Gothic Art. The fortress-like closed wall bell tower and vast buttresses are in violent contrast with the elegance of the interior and the admirable proportions of its three naves. Thanks to the non-profit organisation, Les Amis de Luzanet, the chapel enjoys a second youth. No visits allowed, only exterior.
