Parroquia de la Inmaculada Concepción - Renedo de Esgueva, Valladolid, España - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

"La actual iglesia parroquial fue construida entre 1736 y 1738 bajo el mecenazgo del renedense obispo de Sigüenza, el franciscano D. José García Fernández, por el arquitecto Manuel Serrano autor de la también barroca y original parroquial de Rueda.

Se trata de uno de los mejores y más elegantes ejemplos arquitectónicos barrocos de la Comunidad. Al exterior muestra unas líneas elegantes y equilibradas, con un gran juego de volúmenes que decorativamente se anima con el contraste de materiales, pétreos y ladrillo.

Destaca, sobre todo, la fachada principal, abierta a un gran atrio elegantemente cerrado con un murete de piedra. El acceso, está centrado en el extremo occidental del templo, situado entre dos torres planas de ladrillo encintadas en piedra. Su portada pétrea se plantea con un hueco adintelado adornada con un gran baquetón mixtilíneo que refuerza su movimiento a base de curvas y contra curvas enmarcando el escudo del fundador con los símbolos franciscanos. Por encima del conjunto, una hornacina cobija la escultura de una Inmaculada que se adscribe al maestro Pedro de Sierra."

"The current parish church was built between 1736 and 1738 under the patronage of the Bishop of Sigüenza from René, the Franciscan D. José García Fernández, by the architect Manuel Serrano, author of the also Baroque and original parish church of Rueda.

It is one of the best and most elegant Baroque architectural examples in the Community. On the outside it shows elegant and balanced lines, with a great set of volumes that is decoratively enlivened by the contrast of materials, stone and brick.

The main façade stands out above all, open to a large atrium elegantly closed with a stone wall. The access is centered on the western end of the temple, located between two flat brick towers encased in stone. Its stony façade is raised with a lintelled hole adorned with a large mixtilinear batter that reinforces its movement with curves and counter curves, framing the founder's coat of arms with the Franciscan symbols. Above the set, a niche shelters the sculpture of an Immaculate Conception that is ascribed to the master Pedro de Sierra."
