Heritage classified

Abside: registration by order of 9 February 1927

Origin and history

The church of Vignols, located in the Corrèze department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, dates from the thirteenth century. This religious monument is singularized by its apse, whose sides adopt a shape evoking a Saint-Jacques shell, an architectural peculiarity not widespread in this region. The building, partially protected, bears witness to the local medieval heritage.

Abside of the church was inscribed under the title of Historical Monuments by an order of 9 February 1927. This official protection underscores its heritage interest, particularly for its distinctive form and seniority. The location of the church, in the heart of the village of Vignols, makes it a central element of the historical and cultural landscape of the commune.

Available sources, such as the Merimée and Monumentum base, specify that the church belongs to the municipality. Its exact address, 5 Rue des Ardennes, and its INSEE code (19286) confirm its territorial anchoring in Corrèze, in the former Limousin region. The accuracy of its geographic location is estimated to be fair, possibly reflecting minor uncertainties about its exact location.
