DISCOVERY:
A bit of history
The village of Murols and its beautiful stone and slate houses blend well into a natural environment with wooded relief. Murols was the seat of a priory under the bishop of Rodez. Church of the 15th century with a Romanesque choir and a bell tower with a comb of 4 bells, one of which dates from 1704. The vault was redone in the 18th century. This church houses some interesting sculptures.
It is difficult to comment well on the history of the village and the parish of Murols, because the vandalism of the 1789 revolution made all the papers and titles of this parish disappear
In 1853 the blessing of the great bell weighing a respectable 454 kilos was the highlight of the century in the presence of a large number of clergymen.
Finally, the memory of the terrible floods of 1866 remained in our minds for a long time. The land had been dragged into ravines, bridges washed away, mills destroyed, the banks of the Goul damaged.
The forge: eight generations of blacksmiths lived and worked in Murols.
The last of them died in 1974. In 2002, after restoration, the small forge in the village warmed up. At the same time the inhabitants were initiated to ironwork and sculpture on their imaginary path "Of fire and wind".
