Noailhac - Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens

"Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens" ("Saint Peter in Chains") is the parish church of Noailhac. Like seen in nearby Collonges-la-Rouge (previous uplaod), red sandstone was the material that was on hands locally, so this church, built in the 12th century was "rouge" as well.

The church got partly destroyed during the Hundred Years War, so the nave was rebuilt later in the Gothic style, reusing some of the capitals of the Romanesque structure. Severely damaged again during the French Revolution and poorly repaired during the 19th century, a new facade (not to be seen from this pov) had to be built about a century ago, to secure the structure.
