Eglise de Vareilles

Historic site and monument, Church in Vareilles
  • This is a fortified church. It has a bell tower-porch and a single nave with side chapels and a flat chevet. A counter-fort on the north-west side of the nave was given a patté base (an enlarged or swollen base on which missiles bounce in different directions) to support a turret or circular watchtower. Today, only the molded stump with its round base remains. In 1858, the upper part of this defense was demolished.
