Origin and history
The church of Saint-Pardoux de Dampniat, classified as a Historical Monument, has a facade of the early 13th century, reinforced by two foothills and a protective mâchicoulis. This defensive system, supported by eight crows with three projections, communicated with the belfry, illustrating the strategic importance of the building at that time. Restoration work was completed in 1478, marking a consolidation phase of the building.
The southern chapel, dated from the 14th century, adds to the two northern chapels of the 16th century and to a fourth chapel, the highest, also from the 14th century. These extensions reflect the architectural and liturgical evolution of the church over centuries. The building, registered by decree of 9 February 1927, now belongs to the commune of Dampniat, in the department of Corrèze.
The location of the church in the Bourg de Dampniat is documented with average accuracy (level 5/10). Its official address, 19360 Dampniat, is located in the former Limousin region, now integrated into New Aquitaine. The building, open to the visit, bears witness to the local medieval religious and defensive heritage.
