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. A horrible devil pulls a sinner down to hell. This is one of the most beasty devils, I have ever seen. From this angle, it cannot be seen, why the poor soul has to spend the rest of eternity with this devil.
