Two 15th-century painted ceilings in a Lagrasse presbytery

In the old presbytery on Rue Paul Vergnes in Lagrasse, the 15th-century painted surfaces are notable features of the historic building. The structure serves as a civic building that now functions as the Maison du Patrimoine.

The building served as the local presbytery and currently preserves two painted ceilings dating from the 1400s. One of these masterpieces is located on the ground floor, while the other occupies the first floor of the interior.

The site has received various historical protections over the years. The door and one painted ceiling were first listed as historical monuments in 1948, and two painted ceilings from the 15th century were classified in May 1954. In September 2016, the entirety of the old presbytery, including the house, courtyard, and surrounding walls, was listed, eventually receiving full classification in December 2020.
