Eglise fortifiée d’Allassac

Saint-Jean-Baptiste church is built in Gothic style, in black schist enhanced by red sandstone. Its massive square bell tower, fortified with machicolations, gives it a fortress-like appearance. To the south, a typically Limousin-style doorway opens, trimmed with slender cylindrical mouldings and a poly-lobed inner arch. The interior features 3 17th-century altarpieces by the Duhamel brothers. Free admission.
