Amboise - St. Denis


The construction of this church was started about 1107 by Hugues, the first Lord of Amboise. It replaced an ancient church, probably from the 4th century, dedicated to St. Martin of Tours. The Romanesque church was part of a Benedictine priory, depending from the abbey Saint-Julien de Tours but as well served the parish. The structure got modified and enlarged in the 16th century.
Strange scenes are on (13thc.?) capitals inside the church.
A "Master of Beasts" performing with two-headed, winged(?) snakes? Surely creatures of hell just like animals standing upright. The devil shows a well dressed sinner, while a lady with long braids does a perfect handstand.
