Roman church of Saint-Bonnet

Miremont

This small church, situated on a promontory, has a chevet characteristic of the Auvergne Romanesque. Adjacent to the church, the “snail shell” cemetery, at the top of the hillock, is an original feature of this site. It was built in 1147.

Behind the church, the ruins of the castle (12th-13th century) can still be seen.
Guillaume de Beaufort donated his sacristy rights to this church to the cathedral chapter of Clermont-Ferrand when he left for the Crusades. Although the church was built in several stages, its architecture displays a certain homogeneity.
