Origin and history

The Church of Notre-Dame de Payroux, located in the commune of Payroux in New Aquitaine, is a religious building built in the 12th century. This monument, typical of the Romanesque architecture of the region, was included in the inventory of Historic Monuments by a decree dated December 8, 1950. Today it belongs to the commune and remains an important witness to the local medieval heritage.

The location of the church, specified as "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), is indicated at the following address: 3 Place Général de Gaulle, 86350 Payroux. The department concerned is Vienna (code INSEE 86189), in the former Poitou-Charentes region, now integrated into New Aquitaine. The building, still visible today, is associated with a Creative Commons license for available images, such as the one credited to Ikmo-ned.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm its status as a protected church since 1950. No additional information is provided on any historical figures related to its construction or use, or on significant events specific to this monument.
