Initially, the village church of Pierreclos was next to the castle. You can still see it today: a beautiful Romanesque tower dating from the 12th century, within the walls of the castle (on the left of the castle on the photo) . This is all that remains of the original church, as its nave was burnt down during the Wars of Religion in the 16th century. When the village was built at the foot of the hill on which the castle lays, the villagers wanted to have their own church in the village. The Romanesque tower within the castle walls then became a private chapel. The current church of the village was erected between 1771 and 1779, It replaced a first church closed in 1735 which threatened to collapse.
In the photo, we can make out a third church in the distance behind the castle. This is the church of Serrière, It dates from the 13th century.

Histoires d'églises
Initialement, l'église du village de Pierreclos était à côté du château. On la voit encore de nos jours : une belle tour romane qui date du 12ème siècle, dans l'enceinte du château (sur la gauche du château sur la photo). C'est tout ce qui reste de l'église d'origine, car sa nef a été incendiée pendant les guerres de religion au 16ème siècle. Lorsque le village s'est construit au pied de la colline sur lequel se trouve le château, les villageois ont voulu avoir leur propre église dans le village. La tour romane dans l'enceinte du château est alors devenue une chapelle privée. L'église actuelle du village fut érigée entre 1771 et 1779, elle a remplacé une première église fermée en 1735 qui menaçait de s'effondrer.
Sur la photo, on devine au loin derrière le château une 3ème église. C'est l'église de Serrière, elle date du 13ème siècle

Pierwszy kościół w Lusowie w tym miejscu wybudowano w 1244 roku. Jak podają najdawniejsze dokumenty był to drewniany kościół. Wydarzeniem historycznym było utworzenie w Lusowie parafii w dniu 15 lipca 1288 roku. Z biegiem lat drewniany kościół uległ zniszczeniu. Nową świątynię konsekrowano w 1499 roku. Ulegała ona kilkakrotnym renowacjom. Obecny wygląd kościoła pochodzi z roku 1913 - 1916. Ze starego XV wiecznego kościoła pozostało gotyckie prezbiterium z gwiaździstym sklepieniem i łukiem tęczowym. Stanowi ono kaplicę nowej świątyni pod wezwaniem św. Jadwigi i św. Jakuba Apostoła.
