Église Saint Roch de Banc, Commune de Bertholène
A picturesque village whose tangled roofs can be seen from the road to the north-west of the village.
Small, partly renovated Gothic church.
Open on request.
Used to be an annex of Anglars.
Altarpiece behind the main altar (18th) with a picturesque polychrome Virgin Mary above the tabernacle. This one dates from the 14th century, but has many Romanesque features.
In the right-hand chapel, a carved wooden altarpiece of Saint Roch. The saint and his dog are gilded, contrasting with the rest of the altarpiece, which has retained the beautiful color of the wood: the dog is admirable in its naiveté.
Old well in front of the church. At the crossroads, a carved 14th-century cross: "this is the cross of justice that would have stood next to the pillory". It has 2 peculiarities: no cross behind the Christ with splayed feet and seated figures on both sides.
