Montmorillon Saint-Larent-and-Saint-Vincent


This church belonged to a large "Maison Dieu" ensemble, that was founded as a hospital in the 11th century by Robert II of France (aka "Robert the Pious"), the son of Hugo Capet. This hospital, run by monks, provided food and shelter for the pilgrims and the sick. Though the hospital, that as well was a convent, got severely damaged over the centuries, it always got rebuilt. Today the buildings are renovated and house the local retirement home.
The church of Saint-Larent-and-Saint-Vincent has a 12th century tower and an interesting (though mutilated) frieze on the facade.
