Eglise de Bars

Bars, 24210 Bars

The church at BARS must have been founded between 1025 and 1120; the papal bull issued by Pope Callixtus II (dated 1120) addressed to Abbot Gui de Tourtoirac, confirms the abbey’s holdings and cites BARS as a priory forming part of the numerous dependencies of this Benedictine abbey, founded in 1025. In 1023, the charter issued by Viscount Gui de Limoges (endowing the abbey) makes no mention of BARS; we may therefore assume that most of the churches not mentioned in this text were founded between that date and 1120.
