Origin and history

The former chapel Saint-Georges, located in Lezoux in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, was built at the edge of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Probably a castral chapel, it was originally composed of a short nave and a square choir, once vaulted. The interior remains, such as blind archatures, leafed columns and vein departures, bear witness to its primitive Gothic architecture.

In the 17th century, a crowded frame and cornice were added, partially altering its appearance. At the time of the Revolution, the building was sold as a national property and then divided into three levels: the ground floor became a hangar, while the floors were converted into dwellings. Despite these transformations, the choir retains remarkable Gothic elements, such as traces of windows and adorned columns.

Classified as a Historic Monument in 1984 for its facades, roofs and interior remains, the chapel now belongs to the commune and to private owners. Its present state reflects both its medieval past and subsequent adaptations, especially post-revolutionary. The location, noted as poor (precision 5/10), places the building at 4 Rue Saint-Georges, in the Puy-de-Dôme.
