Église St Laurent de Prades d'Aubrac
Prades d'Aubrac is one of the highest municipalities of the department with Aurelle-Verlac. The church was rebuilt from 1540 to 1546.
Father André proceeds with the reconstruction of the church. Disappointed by the reception given to his work, he had an inscription placed under the porch: "It is difficult to do something that is to everyone's taste". He died in the Château de Salle on 16 May 1546.
The church, completed by his successor Georges d'Armagnac, is one of the few in Rouergue to have hanging keystones. Mixing Gothic and Renaissance styles, it is among the most remarkable in Rouergue and deserves a careful visit.
Above the porch is a 15th century pietà made of polychrome stone.
Inside, the pulpit, composed of 6 stone blocks, has been preserved. Frescoes are still visible on some walls.
