The oldest Christian building built with rocks transformed by the impact of a meteorite that fell 214 million years ago
This church is said to be made of moonstone, which is prettier than a church made of meteorite breccia. However, the church at Chassenon is the oldest Christian building constructed from rocks transformed by the impact of a meteorite that fell 214 million years ago on the Charente Limousine. These rocks are called breccias. When the meteorite fell at a place called La Judie, in the commune of Pressignac, it formed a crater, known as an astroblème, at least 21 km in diameter.
