Visit of the village of Suèvres

Presentation

The presence of springs and rivers gave rise to the construction of water mills in this ancient walled town which has two churches, including one of the oldest in the department (St Christophe church).
About the monument :
The fortified town of Suèvres was, until the revolution, a prevotship of the St-Martin monks of Tours. In the Renaissance, houses with mullion windows, chateaux, and manors were built. The town has two churches, including St Christoper, one of the oldest religious buildings in the department. The many natural water springs and small rivers gave rise to the many water mills dating from the Middle Ages- 18 in all. 15 are still visible, and a marked trail will allow you to discover them. And finally, wash-houses and stone bridges add charm to this village. Free self visit any time.

Also: guided visit on request (15 days in advance).
