La-Celle-Dunoise (French pronunciation: [la sɛl dynwaz]; Occitan: La Cela de Dun) is a commune in the Creuse department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in central France.
Geography
A very picturesque farming and quarrying village situated some 12 miles (19 km) northwest of Guéret, at the junction of the D15 and the D22, by the banks of the river Creuse.
History
La Celle-Dunoise has Gallo-Roman origins, as shown by various relics discovered within the territory of the commune.
In 1154, a document mentions the name of Ecclesia Cella, which by 1339 had become Ecclesia de Cella dunensi, giving the name of the village today.
A castle was built here in the 12th century but It was destroyed in 1500. It belonged to the family of La Celle, one of the most powerful families of La Marche in the Middle Ages.
