EGLISE SAINT-ETIENNE

The church of Aumont Aubrac is of great beauty. The apse is the oldest part: semi-circular inside, with 7 sides outside. Its vault is in "shell". The nave would not be earlier than the 14th century, its vault is crossed with warheads. Slightly broken arches divide the bays and come to die on culs-des-lampe with human figures or grotesque subjects. Two vaulted chapels also in warhead are articulated on the first span. In 1684, the entrance was moved to the west, on the facade, where buildings once leaned on the church. The square bell tower, built after 1610, lowered during the Revolution to the level of the roof of the church, was raised in 1809.
