Tips from the Community
It was born from the union of 2 religious buildings in the 13th century: the church dedicated to Ste Mary Magdalene and the Notre-Dame des Monts chapel dedicated to the Virgin and which was already a very popular place of pilgrimage. Its 2 Romanesque bays date from this period. In the 15th century, it took inspiration from the Conques abbey church to rebuild its bell tower, still in the Romanesque style, while its apse was made in the fashion of the time: Gothic. At that time, it was under the protection of the Arpajon family, lords of Calmont-de-Plancatge, who made it their necropolis and contributed to its beautification.
