Bengy-sur-Craon - Saint-Pierre-aux-Liens

Bengy-sur-Craon - Saint-Pierre-aux-Liens
The church was built in the 12th century and was "ruled" by the canons of Bourges. A near fountain may have been already a Celtic place of worship, that got Christianized at the time of Saint Martin.

During the French Wars of Religions, the village got completely destroyed and the church was partially burnt down. It was rebuilt at the beginning of the 18th century, so only the facade from the 13th and the choir from the 12th century are still Romanesque.

Marco F. Delminho, Alexander Prolygin, Bergfex, Fred Fouarge have particularly liked this photo
