Situated in the
heart of a country village, surrounded by
lawns and large trees, the church of St
Hilaire d’Estissac is representative of the
village’s ambience.
The harmonious,
vaulted edifice dates from the late eleventh
century. The domed pre-chancel bay and the
barrel-vaulted nave bay are Romanesque while
the porch belfry was added in the fourteenth
century to fortify the church.
The church was
altered in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries with the addition of a chapel on
the south side and a vestry on the north. |
