Eglise paroissiale Sainte Madeleine- Vieil Eyguians- France - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

Très peu d'information sur cette ancienne église.

L'Église Paroissiale Sainte Madeleine est un édifice religieux de confession catholique édifié au village du vieil Eyguians dans le département des Hautes-Alpes.

Cette église à été construite à la fin du XVIème siècle, mais pour Eyguians, la vraie révolution se produit dans les années 1840. La route du col de la Croix-Haute vient d’ouvrir, empruntée par les diligences. Des ponts sont jetés sur le Buëch, dont Pont-Lagrand. Au bord de la rivière poussent une auberge, un moulin, une scierie, une église… Il n’y avait jusqu’alors que quelques fermes isolées. « C’est là que s’amorce la décadence du vieil Eyguians. Quelques familles résistent. Mais l’État va donner le coup de grâce. Pour appliquer la loi sur le reboisement des montagnes, il achète un certain nombre de propriétés. En 1902, le village est considéré comme abandonné.

l’église Sainte-Madeleine restaurée en 1983, avec des poutres en cèdre de la forêt toute proche, dont les pierres sombres viennent sans doute des calcaires noirs d’Eyguians ; elle a toujours souffert d’humidité : d’ailleurs vous pouvez voir encore devant l’église un bassin alimenté par une source captée.

Very little information about this ancient church.

The Parish Church Sainte Madeleine is a religious building of Catholic confession built in the village of the old Eyguians in the department of Hautes-Alpes.

This church was built at the end of the sixteenth century, but for Eyguians, the real revolution occurs in the 1840s. The road to the Col de la Croix-Haute has just opened, borrowed by stagecoaches. Bridges are thrown on Buëch, including Pont-Lagrand. At the edge of the river grow an inn, a mill, a sawmill, a church ... Until then, there were only a few isolated farms. "This is where the decay of old Eyguians begins. Some families resist. But the state will give the coup de grace. To enforce the Mountain Reforestation Act, he buys a number of properties. In 1902, the village is considered abandoned.

the Sainte-Madeleine church restored in 1983, with cedar beams from the nearby forest, whose dark stones probably come from black limestones of Eyguians; it has always suffered moisture: besides, you can still see in front of the church a basin fed by a captured spring.
