Saint-Thibault - Saint-Thibault
What is the parish church of the tiny village Saint-Thibault, seen here, was the center of a priory, that was founded in 1190. In the early times, the priory had erected a Romanesque church.
After the "translation" of Saint Thibault´s relics to this church (1240), pilgrims arrived here in greater numbers, what created "business". So end of the 13th century the monks started to replace the Romanesque church with a "modern" Gothic one. The choir was built between 1299 and 1323.
This large church collapsed in 1712. A fire burnt down what was rebuilt 16 years later. So that only the choir, a transept chapel and an early Gothic portal still existed, when a humble rebuilding process started mid 18th century. The portal, seen on the previous upload, has two statues on either side.
Here is the couple from the portal´s right side.
Two simply dressed men. The left one wears a helmet and has red hair and beard. He seems to greet or bless somebody to the right. His nicely combed friend wears a kind of crown, but for a young king of prince, his attire is too simple. He has this typical Gothic smile on his face.
