St Ferréol Church
Lavaurette
Description
An atypical church in Tarn et Garonne, the Saint Ferréol Church (12th-19th century) in Lavaurette with its round tower and its square tower.
13th century portal and bedside tower 1837
Original church from the 12th century, destroyed and rebuilt in the 16th century, it was further destroyed under the reform, which only spared the bell tower.
Another 17th century church was replaced in the 19th century by the current one, in neo-Gothic style, with a seven-sided choir and a seven-branched rose window on the west facade.
The church suffered and then it was rebuilt and renovated. The construction site is permanent. A turret already exists with its staircase on the Presbytery side but it was decided to install a clock in a bell tower worthy of the name. This is how the wall bell tower becomes a square tower as opposed to the round tower! From one municipal debate to another, time passes and the clock is not installed until 1850.
