Villages: Caussiniojouls History
Caussiniojouls takes its name from Caveinogulo (966) - caucenogilo (978), man's name - Caucinus plus the appropriated suffix (rare) - ojolis.
Central to the history of the village is a church, which dates from the 16th century, and was built on the site of a romanesque chapel from 966. It is dedicated to St. Etienne.
The bell-tower, with its four-sided sloping roof, was destroyed by lightning in 1920 and reconstructed with a pointed steeple. It was renovated in 1990, reassuming its original appearance in regional stone.
