Eglise Notre Dame de Fleigneux
Open on request from the town hall
"Sources establish that the church was remodeled in 1763 (the bell tower may have been built at this time because two bells were supplied in 1769). A restoration campaign also took place in 1845 and must have concerned the openings and the roofs. According to its vault and the triumphal arch, the choir seems to date back to the 17th century.
The Church of Notre-Dame is located in the center of the village, its chancel facing northeast. It has an elongated plan. The single-nave church is preceded by a bell tower, the ground floor of which serves as a vestibule. The square chancel has a flat apse, and the sacristy is attached to its south side. The building is constructed of limestone rubble from Romery and schist with dressed stone quoins. The interior walls are plastered. The floor of the central aisle of the nave and chancel is covered with polychrome cement tiles, and the area under the pews with limestone slabs. The building has only one level, pierced by pointed-arch windows, and the chancel is lit by two large rose windows. The nave is covered by a pointed barrel vault, and the chancel by a ribbed vault. The entire roof is covered with slate. The nave and chancel are covered by a long-sloping roof, and the bell tower by a polygonal spire; at the level of the chancel, two perpendicular long-sloping roofs simulate a transept.
