ANCIENNE EGLISE NOTRE-DAME DE MOLEZON
The church of Notre-Dame de Molezon, overlooking the French Valley, has had an eventful history. First mentioned in the 12th century as a possession of the bishop of Mende, it was plundered several times during the religious conflicts of the 16th and 18th centuries. The façade is remarkable: protected by a monumental Gothic porch, it houses a Romanesque entrance door with three arches.
"It is a Romanesque church, cited in 1123, consisting of a choir bay and a pentagonal apse. The wars of religion greatly weakened the building, which was the object of numerous repairs over the centuries.
The most remarkable part is the Romanesque semicircular door with three arches: the semicircular lintel rests on a monolithic lintel and the imposts bear traces of red polychromy. The Gothic porch body was added in front of the Romanesque façade and has a pointed arch with a quarter round moulding at its base".
