Oyré - Saint-Sulpice
A papal bull issued by Pope Alexander III in 1163 mentions this small church as part of the priory "Saint-Denis" in Vaux (sur Vienne), about 10 kms west).
The church, dedicated to Sulpice le Pieux, was erected end of the 11th century in a primitive Romanesque style, not at all influenced by the more elegant "style saintonge".
Along the western facade runs a gallery, what is rather unique. It is lined with stone benches and probably was the meeting place for the villagers over centuries. The church got remodeled during the 17th century, when it got enlarged and a chapel was added. During the French Revolution the church got damaged. The crumbling apse got demolished and rebuilt during a disputed restauration end of the 19th century.
The church is small, but has about 20 carved capitals. Most of them have a strange, primitive style.
The same capital again, but now seen from a different angle, focussed on the captive. It seems, that half of the face is chipped off. The person is a huge monster. In case this scene refers to the Reconquista this monster depicts a Muslim. "Modern" war propaganda still works the same way..
