Eglise St. Michel des Lions
What the experts agree on
Named for the two stone lions guarding its entrance, this Limousin church took shape over centuries, built mainly between the 14th and 16th centuries on earlier Romanesque and Gothic foundations.
“Two buildings, one Romanesque and the other 13C Gothic, predate the current building whose construction began in 1364 and was pursued in the 15C and 16C.”
