The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Après la destruction de l'église abbatiale d'Alet par les Protestants, ses matériaux constituèrent une véritable carrière de pierres. Chapiteaux, corniches... furent enlevés pour la plupart de leur cadre originel et employés dans les constructions privées ou publiques. Les pierres encastrées dans les murs de l'église de Saint-Salvaire en font partie.

History
After the destruction of the abbey church of Alet by the Protestants, its materials constituted a veritable stone quarry. Capitals, cornices... were for the most part removed from their original setting and used in private or public buildings. The stones set into the walls of the church of Saint-Salvaire are part of this.
