Crazannes - Quarry


For the specific "style saintongue", that developed when the many Romanesque churches were erected within the 11th/12th century, a fine, soft stone was needed. Especially the carvers needed these lime stones for their intricate works. Many of the material used came from Crazannes, where the old quarries can still be seen.
Some of the (meanwhile overgrown) old quarries now are "decorated" with modern scupltures created from the same stones.
