Lorginac is a small village, surrounded by vinyards, near the Gironde. The parish church Saint-Pierre in it´s center was built within the 12th century, but got greatly altered in the 19th century. The left side of the capital, just seen on the previous upload. It is part of the western facade, that survived the great reconstruction process and still is in a good condition. A devil holds a miser by the neck. Avarice was a deathly sin - and the miser´s purse is indeed well filled. The devil has an enormous hairdo, that looks a bit like headdresses and war bonnets worn by Native Americans. But Christopher Columbus was still "far away"...

Lorginac is a small village, surrounded by vinyards, near the Gironde. The parish church Saint-Pierre in it´s center was built within the 12th century, but got greatly altered in the 19th century. The right side of a capital, part the western facade. The facade has survived the great reconstruction process and still is in a good condition. The devil, that reminds me a bit on "PAC-MAN" or "Space-Invaders" of the early 1980s, has grabbed a person by the belt. Does this person wear an apron?

Lorginac is a small village, surrounded by vinyards, near the Gironde. The parish church Saint-Pierre in it´s center was built within the 12th century, but got greatly altered in the 19th century. The semicircular archivolts of the portal are,- similar to that one just seen in neighbouring Saint-Fort-sur-Gironde-, very uniform and geometric. I have no idea, when the the small nudie was added.

Noontime in Lorginac, a village surrounded by vinyards. The parish church Saint-Pierre in it´s center was built within the 12th century, but got greatly altered in the 19th century. The western facade with the large portal and seven arcades above (not all to be seen from this pov) has survived the great reconstruction process, but some repairs were necessery.
