Lauroux: Holiday apartments and holiday homes
Culture
The Notre-Dame de Lauroux church is at least partly evidence of Romanesque art in the Lodévois region. Its barrel-vaulted nave was rebuilt at the end of the 11th or beginning of the 12th century.
Pierre de Posquières, Bishop of Lodève, purchased the lordship of Lauroux in 1161 and had the square bell tower of Notre-Dame church built. The 1699 bell has been protected as a historic monument since 1942. The parish church also has stained-glass windows depicting John the Baptist, Joseph with the Christ Child, a bishop giving a blessing, and Anthony of Padua with the Christ Child. The 1699 cross at Notre-Dame de Lauroux church is also one of the sights in Lauroux.
In the wider regional area around Lauroux are the historic sites of Abbaye de Nonenque and Abbaye de Sylvanès. Abbaye de Gellone and Saint-Amans-de-Mounis are churches in the wider regional area around Lauroux.
