All what remains of the old church - HFF

All what remains of the old church - HFF
This bell tower is the remnant of the old parish church, built during the 12th century and dedicated to Saint-Georges. The old chuch (1st PiP) was demolished in 1963, and this tower is all what remains. It was restored the same year and retains its function of call to prayer with its 3 bells.

TOUT CE QUI RESTE DE LA VIEILLE ÉGLISE... Ce clocher est le vestige de l'ancienne église paroissiale, construite au XIIe siècle et dédiée à Saint-Georges. L'ancienne église (1er PiP) a été démolie en 1963, et il n'en reste que ce clocher. Il a été restauré la même année et conserve sa fonction d'appel à la prière avec ses 3 cloches.

ALLES, WAS VON DER ALTEN KIRCHE ÜBRIG IST... Dieser Glockenturm ist das Überbleibsel der alten Pfarrkirche, die im 12. Jh. erbaut und Saint-Georges geweiht war. Die alte Kirche (1. PiP) wurde 1963 abgerissen, und dieser Turm ist alles, was geblieben ist. Er wurde im selben Jahr restauriert und hat mit seinen 3 Glocken die Funktion des Gebetsrufs beibehalten.

Christa1004 club has replied to PascalL club
Merci Pascal. Oui, une nouvelle église a été construite au début du 20ème siècle, l'ancienne étant trop délabrée et peu sûre. Regarde ici, on voit l'actuelle église, dédiée aussi à St Georges.

Christa1004 club has replied to polytropos club
Danke Poly. Das kommt daher, dass die aktuelle Kirche auf sumpfigem Boden errichtet wurde, und die Installation von Glocken nicht möglich war, da hierfür sehr aufwendige Fundamente erforderlich gewesen wären; d.h. sie hat nur einen Turm zur Dekoration, wie man hier sieht.

What a handsome old church it was. A pity to only have this remaining.

Thanks Diana. Inside the tower there is a lapidarium with ancient gravestones and a sarcophagus, as well as 2 old bells and a clock that stopped half a century ago. I once took a photo through the bars. Have a nice Sunday.

I cannot understand why it was partially demolished until such a late time when awareness of preserving these monuments was mandatory. Have a great weekend my friend.
6 weeks ago.
Christa1004 club has replied to Anton Cruz Carro club
Thanks Anton. I think that unfortunately at that time people were not yet as sensitive to the old as they are today. All they saw was a dilapidated building and the danger it could pose to others, but luckily, today this has changed. Have a nice Sunday.
