Ingrandes - Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul

Ingrandes - Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul
Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul is probably one of the oldest existing churches in the Poitou area, as some Gallo-Roman walls and Carolingian were used, when this church got erected in pre-Romanesque style, during the 10th century. It got remodelled, rebuilt, enlarged many times over the centuries.

The nave was built within the 12th century, so all capitals were carved at that time. The previous upload had a horrible devil pulling a sinner down to hell. Here is the sinner. Avarice is a vice - and the miser still holds his moneybag between the knees.
