Blésignac: Holiday Apartments and Houses

Culture and History

The south wall of the nave and a narrow round-arched opening are all that remain of the Romanesque Église Saint-Roch. The church features construction phases from the 12th, 15th and 16th centuries and, in its entirety, has been protected as a historical monument by decree of 5 April 2001.

The Chapelle Saint-Jean-du-Temple was built in the mid-12th century by the Templars according to their typical ground plan. It belonged to the rural outlying district of the Montarouch commandery.

The chapel is part of a Templar complex on a rocky massif with several mills built partly into the rock and an old limestone quarry. The Moulin du Temple is also part of this complex: a 12th-century watermill built partly into the rock, with wheel chambers and mill wheels carved into the rock.

The Moulin du Temple site includes canals, mill channels, quarries and remains of millstones. The Moulin du Temple is located at 53, route du Temple, 33670 Blésignac.
