Église Saint-Beauzire de Trizac

About

Saint-Beauzire Church is a Catholic church located in Trizac, in the French department of Cantal in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The parish of Trizac is one of the early parishes of the Auvergne, its creation dates back to the Merovingian period (Vth – VIIIth century). Since 16 September 2012, it has been part of the new parish of Saint-Luc du Nord-Cantal, which includes 21 former parishes.

According to a polyptych listing the properties in Haute-Auvergne of the abbey of Saint-Pierre-le-Vif de Sens to which the Mauriac monastery belonged, Trizac had, at the beginning of the ninth century, three churches dedicated respectively to Notre-Dame, Saint-Jean-Baptiste and Saint-Beauzire. Currently there is only one church dedicated to N-D of the Assumption, but placed under the name of St Beauzire. Three altarpieces of 1742 dedicated to the Virgin, St Jean-Baptiste and St Beauzire recall the three ancient churches.

In the 14th century, following a stiletto (registry of ecclesiastical goods and profits) of the abbey of La Chaise Dieu founded in 1043 by Robert de Turlande, the church of Trizac was a priory, already under the name of St Beauzire, annex of the priory of Vignonnet dependent on this abbey...
