Church Notes: 12th-13thC church; fortified by the Knights Hospitaller in 14thC; modified mid-19thC -- listed in Mérimée [ref.: PA00095393]: "époque de construction 11e siècle ; 13e siècle ; 16e siècle[...] Edifice daté du début du 13ème siècle, d'après un texte gravé dans le porche portant la mention 1240 ou 1260. Au milieu du 14ème siècle, l'église passe aux Hospitaliers de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem. La nef et le chevet sont surélevés pour permettre la mise en place d'un chemin de ronde. La chapelle de la Vierge a sans doute été fondée entre 1420 et 1444, et possède un décor peint de cette date. Du 17ème siècle datent le maître-autel en bois doré, la chaire, une pieta polychrome et les toiles peintes. La chapelle Saint-Roch possède un décor mural de 1670. En 1736, l'ordre de Malte succède aux Hospitaliers. En 1876, le clocher est utilisé comme prison militaire. De cette époque datent le décor peint du retable de la chapelle Saint-Roch, ainsi que celui du cul-de-four. A la fin du 19ème siècle, une porte est percée au nord, face au portail roman."

Enlart (1902, p. 786 and, same page, footnote 3) mentions a few stoups which were restricted to specific users. The one at Luz was, according to Enlart, "réservés à la race méprisée des Cagots" and has a relief figure of a Cagot on it ("sur celui de Luz se détache la figurine en relief d'un des ces malhereux." (Ibid.) [cf. also the Index entries for Angers No. 3, Saint-Savin and Milhac de Nontron, all three are examples of "restricted" stoups]. The Dictionnaire des églises... (1966- ) mentions several stoups in this church, one of them, "le plus intéressant" being a small polygonal basin dated 1589, probably not the same one. On-site notes: this wall-mounted mortar-shaped stoup could be as lale as the 17th century or as early as the 12th; it looks like it could have been a re-cut stone; the figure at the front angle is very worn. [NB: the stoup mentioned in the Dictionnaire... [cf. supra] is listed in this Index as Luz-St. Sauveur No. 3]
