Another church under reconstruction! A church was known here already in 1131, but todays church was obviously erected mid 13th century. The church may have been a convent church of the Knights Templar, that was later used by Augustine canons. The church has a strange bell-gable and by now is serves the parish. Here just like in Vila Boa de Quires are strong parallels to Paço de Sousa.

Arlempdes is a small village just 30kms north of the spring of the Loire river. It is so quaint, that it belongs to the "Plus beaux villages de France". The parish church dedicated to Saint Peter, erected in the 12th/13th century, got remodeled in the 16th century, when the bell gable ("clocher-mur") was added. To the left the walls of the ruined castle.
