Forges - Saint-Laurent

The parish church was probably erected within the 13th century. A church here, depending of the Cluniac priory of Saint-Martin d'Aix, is mentioned for the first time in 1188. The church got severely damaged during the Wars of Religions and was not restored until the 18th century.
Unfortunately the church was locked. It has a Romanesque façade and some nice corbels. Some of the corbels depict megaphallic / ithyphallic men. Such figures can quite often be found in the Poitou but most of them are - like here - damaged.
