The village of Aumont-Aubrac is home to the church of Saint-Etienne with its mixture of Romanesque and Baroque styles. Mentioned as early as 1106, it is now a must for shell hikers
Remodeled during the 19th century, the church retains a trace of each era of its construction. The apse is the oldest part while the nave seems to be older than the 14th century. It has a square bell tower finished with a spire, raised in 1809 with stones from the cemetery
Its south portal with a broken arch is one of the most remarkable in the region. Its granite rubble façade is typical of local architecture.
If the architecture remains sober and typical of the Romanesque style, the decoration shows its contemporaneity.
The magnificent stained glass windows dated 1967 are the work of a contemporary artist named Ménard.
In its vessel, at the entrance to the south chapel, is a superb painting representing the Virgin carrying the Child and the young John the Baptist.
