L’église Notre-Dame et Saint-Cyprien (XIe, XIIe, et XIVe siècles). C'était à l'origine une chapelle du prieuré Notre-Dame fondé en 969 par Ebbon avec sa femme Ode et Achard leur fils. Cette chapelle prieurale fut placée sous le patronage de la Vierge Marie et de Saint Cyprien. La tour d'angle sud-ouest date du XIVe siècle, l'ensemble faisait partie intégrante de la fortification. Au XVIIe siècle, l'abside centrale et l'abside nord furent détruites par un effondrement du clocher. L'abside sud fut endommagée dans sa partie supérieure. La façade occidentale possède un portail surmonté d'une fenêtre. Les trois voussures du portail sont ornées et tombent sur trois paires de colonnes surmontées de chapiteaux.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248634540092079/63e10d20-914a-4451-8958-c582222bc235.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Château-Larcher (Vienne) La lanterne des morts. Au milieu du cimetière, cette lanterne des morts date de la première moitié du XIIIe siècle. L'ouverture rectangulaire du bas permettait d'introduire la lanterne que l'on faisait monter dans le fanal par un système de corde et poulie. Le seul témoignage écrit évoquant ce genre de construction qui nous soit parvenu, est un passage du De miraculis de Pierre le Vénérable*: Vers 1150, la veille de la Noël, au prieuré clunisien de Charlieu dans la Loire. Un jeune oblat* voit apparaître son oncle Achard, mort depuis quelques années, qui l’invite à le suivre pour contempler des choses merveilleuses. De fait, après avoir quitté le dortoir et traversé cloître majeur et cloître des malades, ils arrivent au cimetière. Là, dans une clarté indéfinissable, l’enfant voit une foule innombrable d’hommes vêtus de l’habit monastique, assis sur des sièges. La scène se poursuit avec la description d’une lanterne des morts : Il y a, au centre du cimetière, une construction en pierre, au sommet de laquelle se trouve une place qui peut recevoir une lampe, dont la lumière éclaire toutes les nuits ce lieu sacré, en signe de respect pour les fidèles qui y reposent. Il y a aussi quelques marches par lesquelles on accède à une plate-forme dont l’espace est suffisant pour deux ou trois hommes assis ou debout. (Obtinet autem medium coemeterii locum, structura quaedam lapidea, habens in summitate sui quantitatem unius lampadis capacem, quae ob reverentiam fidelium ibi quiescentium totis noctibus fulgore suo locum illum sacratum illustrat. Sunt et gradus per quos illuc ascenditur, supraque spatium duobus vel tribus ad standum vel sedendum hominibus sufficiens.) Pierre le Vénérable fut élu abbé de Cluny en 1122. Sous sa direction, le rayonnement de Cluny, en France et dans la chrétienté occidentale, atteignit son apogée. C'est Pierre le Vénérable qui annonça, par lettre, à Héloïse, la mort d'Abélard qui avait trouvé refuge à Cluny. Pierre le Vénérable fit traduire en latin le Coran. Un oblat est une personne qui, pour se joindre à une congrégation, dont elle suit en partie la règle sans abandonner son état laïque et sans prononcer les vœux, a fait don de ses biens à cette communauté religieuse.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248634540092079/f87a4c44-718a-43bc-811a-2a30f2787aa2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Château-Larcher (Vienne).
