Eglise Notre Dame
The village clinging to the mid-slope of the hillside is home to Notre Dame de Nevoy, an 11th-century church where numerous medieval artefacts and burials bear witness to a rich past.
Like many religious buildings, Nevoy's church has been destroyed and rebuilt over the centuries and in the wake of successive wars, but the earliest Christian building in Nevoy dates back to the 4th century.
The current layout of the church dates from the 10th century, and the bell tower from the 12th. One thing's for sure: the building is a symbol of the local people's determination to rebuild a place of prayer, and to do so with simplicity, no doubt under the influence of the Cistercian monks present in Nevoy in the 12th and 13th centuries. However, it's only in the last ten years that the interior of the church has taken on its current appearance.
A few steps from the church is the chapel known as "La Bonne Dame", named after the miraculous fountain that stands there.
