Maule - Saint-Nicolas

Already the Romans had a temple, where the church is now. In 1076 the ownership of the existing church was transferred to a Benedictine convent in the Normandie. The erection of church of today may have started soon after, but it took a long time, to complete it. So Romanesque and Gothic elements can be found.

The church has a large Romanesque crypt, dating to the very first building phase. One of the crypt´s small windows can be seen here. Due to the restoration works all doors were locked.
