Eglise Saint-Claude

This neo-Romanesque building was constructed at the end of the 19th century (inscription 1878 on the tympanum above the door) in the small wine-growing village of Créot, and is dedicated to Saint-Claude. Small in size, it looks like a simple chapel. It consists of a single nave of three bays, extended by a semi-circular choir with Gothic arches. The altar is surmounted by a tabernacle dominated by a small octagonal bell tower. The circular stained glass window above the entrance door depicts the Sacred Heart.
On the outside, the facade is dominated by a bell tower with two round arched openings and one on each side. The semi-circular tympanum of the entrance door features a cross set in a circle of pearls, itself surrounded by a wreath of foliage and a border of alternating flowers and stars. In front of the church stands a calvary dated 1737.
