Jazeneuil - Saint-Jean-Baptiste

01 Feb 2016 1 141
Late afternoon in the village Jazeneuil (pop. 859). Already within the 6th century three chapels existed here. The buildings are mentioned, as the monks, doing the "translatio" of Saint Léger´s relics, stopped at these chapels. Saint-Jean-Baptiste, the church of today, was erected within the 12th century. Seen here is the western facade. Unfortunately the church was locked already.

Saint-Jean-Baptiste, the church of today, was erected within the 12th century, next to the river Vonne, that may look a bit like the river Jordan.
