Le Bellay-en-Vexin - Sainte-Marie-Madeleine

A plane creates a contrail over Le Bellay-en-Vexin. The erection of "Sainte-Marie-Madeleine", below the blue sky, started probably within the early 12th century. The base of the bell tower is Romanesque. I could not see the capitals inside, as the church was locked, but I learned, that they are Romanesque as well. It must have taken a long period to complete the structure - and it looks, that from that moment on the remodelling process started. Here again is a bricked up side portal.
