Les Chatelliers-Chateaumur

 

                        Commune se trouvant au Nord-Est de Pouzeauges, de l'église Notre-Dame ne subsiste que la partie basse de la façade

                loccidentale de l'époque romane. Elle date du XIIe siècle, le portail en arc est composé de trois voussures reposant sur des

               colonnettes dont les chapiteaux sont engagés dans la maçonnerie. Six modillons sont incorporés dans la façade Ouest, au-

              dessus du ballet qui abrite les portail.
