Ingrandes - Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul

Ingrandes - Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul
Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul is probably one of the oldest existing churches in the Poitou area, as some Gallo-Roman walls and Carolingian were used, when this church got erected in pre-Romanesque style, during the 10th century. It got remodelled, rebuilt, enlarged many times over the centuries.

The nave was built within the 12th century, so all capitals were carved at that time. This frightening lion has a mouthful of sharp teeth, but the long body of a wiener dog.
