Description

Description of heritage

  • Descriptif du site et monument historique
    Saint-Sulpice church is Romanesque in style and is said to have ancient foundations (Pope Innocent II cited it in 1139). The central nave, south aisle and bell tower with buttresses were rebuilt in the early 16th century. The north aisle was rebuilt in 1828 and the choir around 1841, as was the adjoining presbytery, now in private ownership.

    The bells, one of which weighs 750 kilos, were cast on site by the Bollée company. The woodwork in the "Semaine" chapel came from the Château de Pully.

    The stained glass windows bearing coats of arms were donated by local lords and ladies.
