14th-century church occupied the south wing of the Carmelite covent here. Its font probably destroyed 1570 / 1572 in the Religious Wars. The convent is listed in Mérimée [ref.: PA00104468]: "Les Carmes s'installent à La Rochefoucauld en 1329. Le couvent connaît sa plus grande extension aux 15e et 16e siècles (agrandissement de bâtiments, école de philosophie et de théologie). Occupé par les Huguenots en 1563-1564, le couvent est pillé et saccagé en 1570 et 1572. L'état de ruine subsiste jusqu'au début du 17e siècle."
