Saint-Martin-de-Vers - Saint-Martin

Saint-Martin-de-Vers - Saint-Martin
In medieval times the church and village belonged to the Abbaye Saint-Pierre in Marcilhac-sur-Célé (25kms east). The fortified church, in the center of the village, is dated to the 15th century, what probably was the time it was rebuilt and got fortified. There are medieval/Romanesque parts, that origine from a previous building.

Seen to the right is the "Maison des templiers". Here the Knights Templar supported the pilgrims on their way to Rocamadour (35 kms north).
