Eglise de Verrines, Nouvelle Aquitaine, France - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

Heritage Foundation source:
Located in the heart of the village of Vérines, the Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption church dates back to most of the 18th century, but corresponds to a progressive reconstruction of the primitive medieval building. It presents today important disorders, which require a restoration of magnitude. In a first step, the Municipality of Vérines undertakes the most urgent work, which is the rehabilitation of the arms of the transept and the sacristy. We accompany him in this project, which is part of a large program of development of the town center and enhancement of communal heritage.

The parish church, which opens to the west by a bell tower built in the early twentieth century, has a Latin cross plan. Inside, it offers a vast volume covered by ceilings and plaster vaults. It houses a furniture ensemble of remarkable coherence, consisting of a pulpit, benches, stalls, side altars and a tribune, and hosts in the choir murals of the twentieth century.

source Fondation Patrimoine :
Située dans le cœur du bourg de Vérines, l’église Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption date pour sa plus grande partie du XVIIIe siècle, mais correspond à une reconstruction progressive de l’édifice médiéval primitif. Elle présente aujourd’hui des désordres importants, qui nécessitent une restauration d’ampleur. Dans une première étape, la Municipalité de Vérines entreprend les travaux les plus urgents, qui sont la remise en état des bras du transept et de la sacristie. Nous l’accompagnons dans ce projet, qui s’inscrit dans un large programme d’aménagement du centre-bourg et de mise en valeur du patrimoine communal.

L’église paroissiale, qui s’ouvre à l’ouest par un clocher-porche édifié au début du XXe siècle, présente un plan en croix latine. A l’intérieur, elle offre un vaste volume couvert par des plafonds et des voûtes en plâtre. Elle abrite un ensemble mobilier d’une remarquable cohérence, constitué d’une chaire, de bancs, de stalles, d’autels latéraux et d’une tribune, et accueille dans le chœur des peintures murales du XXe siècle.
