📍 Brousse-le-Château
Église Saint-Jacques le Majeur
Historical Monument, 15 century church, village listed in the Prettiest Villages in France. With its fortified belltower it is proudly erected below the village, near the Tarn and the Alrance.
Dating from the 15th century, this church was built by the will of Jean III d'Arpajon and his wife Anne de Bourbon Roussillon, Lords of the Brousse. Located below the castle, it can be reached by about twenty steps, most of which are under the vault of a tower that serves as a bell tower. In 2000 a truly exemplary restoration of the monument revealed the traces of an old fresco dating from the 15th century as well as beautiful elements of typically Gothic sculptures. The cemetery and the adjoining oratory date from the same period.
