The church of Lignière

Description

To your right, admire the church Notre Dame.

The first church was built on a source in the twelfth century. Of this period only remains the Romanesque steeple.

The nave was built in the thirteenth century. The front is decorated with stone carvings probably reused from the original façade. They illustrate the "Adoration of the Magi."

Inside, the nave is covered with ribbed vaults falling on columns with capitals characteristics of the thirteenth century. The most outstanding capital represents two people both dressed and coiffed in the style of the thirteenth century.

In the fifteenth century, a chapel on the north of the bedside has been open.

On the interior walls of the choir and of the chapel remain traces of funeral rites : black bands decorated with coats of arms painted on the occasion of the funeral of the lords of the place.

At the end of the street, before turning at your right,is the front of one of the oldest houses in the village.
Above the door the date of 1749 is indicated.

Note the small height of the door.

Turn right and leave the village by D699
