Parish church Saint Saturnin, in the village of Mosnac (aka "Mosnac sur Seugne"), dates back to the 12th century. The old single nave church, got enlarged by an aisle in the 15th century. Fortunately the ungifted artist only worked inside the church, so the corbels all around the apse are weathered, but pretty like this little mermaid.

The aisle is not to be seen from this pov, standing on the gallery. During the enlargement the church gor a new vaulting, so there weas no need for the pillar, that oce stott behind the pulpit. It is gone. The right one is still in place. The capitals in the choir have a strange yellow colour.
