Saint-Priest-Les-Fougères: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

Saint-Priest-les-Fougères combines sacred architectural heritage, a historic château and a hiking loop that starts in the village.

Culture

The Church of Saint-Projet was built in the 12th century. Its octagonal bell tower, dating from the 17th century, resembles the Limousin bell-tower style; the layout forms a Latin cross with two side chapels. The choir and chapels contain remarkable 17th-century wood carvings. These include the high altar, made entirely of carved wood, which is part of the ensemble classified as a historic monument by the French heritage authorities on 18 February 1953.

The Château d’Oche is a 15th-century château that was rebuilt in the 19th century. The Church of Notre-Dame de l’Assomption in Saint-Priest-les-Fougères was formerly under the authority of Charroux Abbey, which appointed its officeholders. Saint-Priest-les-Fougères also has a fountain dedicated to a saint; fountains of this kind are sometimes described as miraculous.
