Jarnac-Champagne - Eglise de la Transfiguration
This church once belonged to a convent dependent on the abbey in Charroux (350kms east), later on the nearby abbey in Saint Jean d'Angely.
It was erected within the 12th century, but tower, southern walls and parts of the nave got destroyed during the medieval wars. It got rebuilt and reconstructed different times. The state the building is in now, dates to the mid of the 19th century.
The apse, seen here, is extraordinary. There are nicely sculpted capitals and very elaborate (twisted) pillars in the back.
