LOSTANGES, the “angels” city
Walnut trees, chestnut trees, multicoloured sandstones : Lostanges geology and vegetation are fantastic !
During the medieval period, five or six lords shared the castle, built on
the top of the village. It was part of the Viscounty of Turenne.
It is said that during the Hundred Years War, Bertrand du Guesclin fought there.
Enter the church : you will find an amazing altar piece decorated with twenty one angels ! It is carved out of wood, it dates from the XVIIth century. It is ranked among the Ancient Monuments.
It is worth visiting the Saint Roch Chapel in Blavignac which has been restored.
You will discover different statues. Near the church still remains the medieval
well, recently covered, like a turret, by the “Friends of Lostanges”,
a dynamic association.
Nowadays, agriculture and tourism are the most important sources of income.
