Saint-Romain-de-Benet - Saint-Romain

02 Sep 2013 184
Another former priory church, that now is a parish church. Built within the 12th century it burned down later, got poorly rebuilt and was near to collapse, when the "renovation process" started alrady within the 17th century. Not much more than pillars around the crossing of Saint Romain are left from the Romanesque structure. These still have capitals from the 12th century. Two lions fighting on the right, while a knight on horseback leaves the scene to the left. He holds a pretty large shield.
