Boulogne-sur-Gesse - Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption

07 Jan 2015 2 1 247
Boulogne-sur-Gesse was founded as a "bastide" in the 13th century, near the Cistercian Abbey of Bonnefont, that existed already since 1136. Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption, the bastide´s church, was erected here within the 14th century. On the right side of the nave (previous upload) stands an extraordinary Renaissance-pulpit. Here are some details of the pulpit´s carvings. While to the right a winged lion holds a coat of arms, "real life" happens to the left, where an amphibian salamander has caught a snail.
