Thaims - Saint-Pierre

Thaims - Saint-Pierre
Where the parish church of Thaims is now, was a Roman villa during earlier times. A part of the Roman ruin got integrated into an early merovingian church, of which again parts were "reused", when this church was erected within the 11th century. It got altered a couple of times.

The carvings found in "Saint-Pierre" differ clearly in style. Some of them may date back to the merovingian structure, some of them are late Romanesque and may been added within the 13th century.

There are as well some very old carved graffiti, some depict animals and this one a man with long arms - and short legs.
