TEMPLE PROTESTANT DE MEYRUEIS

The temple of Meyrueis currently visible was commissioned in 1840. The building is made up of two interlocking octagons which thus provide a vast space. Its beauty lies in its fully paneled interior, from the dome to the pillars that support it. In addition, a wooden gallery runs around the entire perimeter of the building, serving as stands on five sides. Two monumental staircases serve the stands and the adjoining rooms. The building covered with a slate roof carries a small campanile* while a monumental staircase marks the entrance to the temple. The temple of Meyrueis, considered one of the most important in the department, can accommodate 700 people.
