Saint-Quantin-de-Rançanne - Saint-Quantin

The single nave church was erected within the 12th century. The church got damaged during the Wars of Religions, when the bell tower, that stood above the choir, was completely destroyed.

The facade has some extraordinary carvings. There are 23 roughly carved horse's heads. There are complex capitals - and above - a row of very fanciful corbels.

After all the corbels (see previous uplouds) here is only one capital. A lady in a long dress with braids, flanked by two gentlemen. She has a somehow optimistic facial expression. Mouth open. Talking or laughing.
