Eglise Saint Honorat- Mas Thibert- Bouches du Rhône- Paca- France - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

FR:
L’église de Mas-Thibert fut consacrée en 1857, sous le vocable de Saint-Honorat. C’est la seule église de la commune construite par l’architecte Henri Révoil.

Avant cette implantation, l’église de Mas-Thibert changea trois fois de place.

Celle que nous voyons aujourd’hui fut construite à la fin du XIXe siècle et consacrée en 1900.

Encore utilisée aujourd’hui, elle abrite de nombreuses statues et reliques remarquables. On y a découvert, en 1995, un Christ en bois du XIVe siècle, conservé au musée Réattu d’Arles.


Description architecturale:

En plan rectangulaire classique, fermé par un abside en cul de four, l’édifice, élevé en moellons laissés apparents, présente une façade assez singulière : la partie centrale est occupée par un portail rectangulaire clavé en plate-bande que surmonte un arc d’ogive aveugle dans lequel s’inscrit une grande croix de fer forgé. Les bas-côtés sont également ornés d’arcatures aveugles. L’élévation du portail et de sa niche sommitale ainsi que les angles des bas-côtés sont soulignés par des pierres laissées saillantes, comme si la construction de murs de refend avait été prévue mais non réalisée.

The church of Mas-Thibert was consecrated in 1857, under the name of Saint-Honorat. It is the only church in the town built by architect Henri Révoil.

Before this implantation, the church of Mas-Thibert changed three times of place.

The one we see today was built at the end of the 19th century and consecrated in 1900.

Still used today, it houses many remarkable statues and relics. In 1995, a wooden Christ from the 14th century was discovered in the Réattu museum in Arles.


Architectural description:

In rectangular rectangular plan, closed by an apse in the oven, the building, raised in exposed rubble, presents a rather singular facade: the central part is occupied by a rectangular portal clavé in flat-bed that surmounts a bow of blind warhead in which fits a large wrought iron cross. The aisles are also decorated with blind arches. The elevation of the portal and its summit niche as well as the angles of the aisles are underlined by stones left projecting, as if the construction of walls of splitting had been planned but not realized.
