Fascinating little church with interesting architecture inside as well as sculptures and a great crypt with the remains of old mural paintings. A visit could even be improved if information was provided in the church about its history instead of having to consult Wikipedia.
Don’t miss the crypt.
(Translated by Google) Romanesque gem on the Way of St. James. The rotunda is intended to commemorate the tomb of Christ, with a basilica room attached to it, which was changed again in the late Romanesque and early Gothic periods. There is still a lot to do in terms of restoration, but that is also part of the charm of the ensemble. If you're lucky, the organist is practicing Bach's works... (Original) Romanisches Kleinod an dem Jakobsweg. Die Rotunde soll an das Grab Christi erinnern, daran angebaut ein basilikaler Raum, der in der Spätromanik bzw. Frühgothik noch einmal verändert wurde. Restaurierungstechnisch gibt es noch einiges zu tun, aber das macht auch den Charme des Ensembles aus. Wenn Sie Glück haben übt gerade der Organist Bachwerke ein...
(Translated by Google) very beautiful church and its magnificent crypt in the center of a very friendly village (Original) très belle église et sa crypte magnifique au centre d'un village fort sympathique
(Translated by Google) The Creuse Valley. An agricultural region but breathtaking landscapes. The region of Georges Sande. To do in spring or summer. (Original) La vallée de la creuse. Une région agricole mais des paysages à couper le souffle. La région de Georges Sande. À faire au printemps ou en été.
(Translated by Google) Two churches, one village, one story. I voluntarily title two churches; If the church of Saint-Laurent and Notre-Dame de Gargilesse-Dampierre is unmissable, a second Romanesque church listed as MH is accessible a few kms away: Eglise Saint-Pierre de Dampierre, magnificent in its humility as a rural church. (see Monumentum) This village is quite extraordinary for its “secret and wild beauty” which offers magnificent walks. Its castle and its castle church offer a superb journey into past centuries; the church, its sculpted capitals, its crypt and the frescoes are magnificent. For various information, I really enjoyed browsing the official website of the commune of Gillée-Dampierre and the Berry province website. (Original) Deux églises, un village, une histoire. Je titre volontairement deux églises ; si l'église Saint-Laurent et Notre-Dame de Gargilesse-Dampierre est incontournable, une deuxième église romane classée MH est accessible à quelques kms : Eglise Saint-Pierre de Dampierre, magnifique dans son humilité d'église rurale. (voir Monumentum) Ce village est assez extraordinaire par sa "beauté secrète et sauvage" qui offre de magnifiques promenades. Son château et son église castrale propose un superbe voyage dans les siècles passés ; l'église, ses chapiteaux sculptés, sa crypte et les fresques sont magnifiques. Pour les informations diverses, j'ai beaucoup aimé parcourir le site officiel de la commune de Gargilesse-Dampierre et le site Berry province.
(Translated by Google) A magnificent little church with very beautiful proportions and decorated with frescoes and especially superb capitals. The capitals are in the nave, and represent several biblical scenes as well as the old men of the Apocalypse. The frescoes, painted over a period ranging from the 13th to the 15th century, are in the nave and especially in the crypt. (Original) Une magnifique petite église aux très belles proportions et ornée de fresques et surtout de chapiteaux superbes. Les chapiteaux sont dans la nef, et représentent plusieurs scènes bibliques ainsi que les vieillards de l'Apocalypse. Les fresques, peintes sur une période qui va du XIIIeme au XVeme siècle, sont dans la nef et surtout dans la crypte.
(Translated by Google) An extraordinary place with a magnificent crypt that you absolutely must visit! Entrance is free and the visit is definitely worth the detour (Original) Un lieu hors du commun avec une crypte magnifique à visiter absolument ! L'entrée est libre et la visite vaut vraiment le détour
