The church of Lhuis is typically Romanesque in style, as evidenced by its beautiful carved capitals on the outside chevet, take a look at it. The apse, classified as a Historic Monument, lights up near the side door to reveal vestiges under the choir.
After the Gallo-Roman cult, a first Christian parish was mentioned in 859. Then, a priory was founded in 1191 by the Benedictine monks of the Abbey of Saint-Rambert-en-Bugey. The architecture then changed over the centuries, from the Middle Ages to the present day.
Fun fact, its attic is now protected as the home of two species of bats. We open our eyes at nightfall but we don't disturb them under any circumstances!
