Le Douhet - Saint-Martial

San Martial, parish church of Le Douhet is a 12th century structure, that had to be stabilized by buttresses within the 15th century, when a steeple was built and the building got unbalanced and unstable.

The portal, erected in the typical Saintonge-style, is richly decorated. The inner archivolt has four angels flanking the Agnus Dei. Carved in a style similar to Fenioux and Aulnay. The outer archivolt is populated by the apostles and, seated on a throne in the center, God with a cross nimbus.
