The church of Notre-Dame De Ronzières

Tourzel-Ronzières

On the edge of the Allier valley, the pre-Romanesque church, rebuilt in the late 12th century, sits atop a basalt plateau.

Excavations on this site have brought to light various remains from the Merovingian and Carolingian periods. The church was built on the site of an earlier sanctuary that legend attributes to the evangelizer Saint-Baudime. Legend has it that this evangelizer struck down a monstrous creature that was terrorizing the inhabitants.
