Santeuil - Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul

26 Feb 2015 168
Santeuil, just about 2kms south of Brignancourt (previous uplaod), hosts this wonderful parish church. "Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul" was built on a hillock between mid 12th century (apse, transept, bell tower) and the early 13th century (nave). It was erected in the very early Gothic style, that still was blended with many Romanesque parts. As the church never got damaged by wars or restauration, this is very much, how it must have looked 1250. Unfortunately I was not allowed inside, but I could peep through the chicken wire. The nave is narrow and very high. Local information connects this to Notre Dame, erected from 1163 on in the center of Paris, just 50kms southeast.
