Description

Dating from the 13th century, the lantern was originally placed in the cemetery near the church. It was moved to the present site in 1811. Measuring 5.5 metres in height, the rectangular lantern is built of well-matched granite ashlar, pyramid-shaped, with a small semi-circular bay on each side of the upper section. The west face features a projecting altar table. The opening through which the lantern, hoisted by the pulley, was inserted, is on the east side. Just a stone's throw away, an orientation table offers a panoramic view of the Limousin and Auvergne mountains. On a clear day, you can see six départements... and the Puy de Sancy!
