Église de St Martin de Lenne
The parish church of St Martin de Lenne is built on the furthest point of the mound. Successive additions were made, undoubtedly unfortunate, before being rebuilt at the end of the 19th century.
The old texts all point out the inconvenience of this church and the continual costly and ineffective repairs. Its dilapidated state was constantly underlined. In 1739, a pastoral visit indicated that the church was in danger of falling into ruins. It was then called the Red Castle. This primitive church was also to serve as a stronghold because it had a crenellated tower with loopholes and a well inside.
It was not until Abbé Bourgade launched a serious reconstruction project in 1883. The entire population, despite the difficult times, raised the necessary funds. On 3 September 1885, the Bishop of Rodez, Monseigneur Bourret, consecrated the new church built around the restored old bell tower. This is the church we know today...
But on August 30, 1932, a single bolt of lightning set the high spire on fire to the consternation of the whole village. However, since the law of 1905, the church had been a communal property. The commune was so poor at the time that it took state aid to cover the bell tower with a simple slab, and above all to put back the bells and the clock, which were essential at that time for the life of the village. It was only in October 1993 that, thanks to numerous donors and subsidies, the spire could be rebuilt, identical to the old one.
