A simple church that offers a refreshing cool interior on a hot summer day.
This 17th-century church was actually built using the stones from the original church which was destroyed by the Huguenot captain Geoffroy de Vivans in 1589. When Catholic worship returned to the area in 1622 , people use stones of the old building to build a new one at the same location.
The church was created by a master mason of Monpazier. With a single nave and a bell tower, the church is dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption.
During its reconstruction, the church of Domme was surrounded by a cemetery. It was then moved in the eighteenth century to another part of Domme.
