Eglise de Verlac

Verlac, a typical mountain village has a Romanesque church listed historical monument in 1977.

The church depended on the God's Chair

Built with local materials: schist for the walls, basalt, tuff and sandstone for the cut stones, it was originally composed of a simple nave finished by a dead-end vault. Two chapels with groin vaults, built later, serve as a transept. The decoration of the capitals deserves the visitor's attention. The stoneware stoup and baptismal font are probably of Romanesque origin

The interior contains a statue of St Jacques, in popular style, found in the altar building, and a beautiful statue of St Clair, in limestone, from the XV-XVIth century, coming from the chapel of Aurelle, as well as the bell from the XVIth century

Outside, the pentagonal chevet has magnificent carved corbels. The portal, also ornamented (see the capital to the right of the door), is protected by an 18th century bell-tower.
