Eglise Saint-Jouin - Mauléon - Deux Sèvres - Nouvelle Aquitaine - FRA - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

(FRA)
Eglise de style gothique tardif. Sa construction remonte à la fin du XVe siècle ou du début 16e. Il s'agissait vraisemblablement d'un prieuré-cure dépendant de l'abbaye de Saint-Jouin-de-Marnes. L'église présente un plan en croix latine, hérissé de contreforts, et se terminant par un chevet plat. La nef à deux travées, sans collatéraux, est voûtée d'ogives. Le sanctuaire est voûté d'un berceau brisé. Une chapelle a été rajoutée au choeur, côté sud, sans doute au XVIIe siècle. Le portail s'inscrit dans un arc en accolade, cantonné de fines colonnettes. Le clocher carré s'élève au-dessus du bras de transept sud.

Late Gothic church. Its construction dates back to the end of the 15th century or the beginning of the 16th century. It was probably a priory-curate dependent on the abbey of Saint-Jouin-de-Marnes. The church has a Latin cross plan, bristling with buttresses, and ending in a flat apse. The two-bay nave, without aisles, is ribbed vaulted. The sanctuary is vaulted with a broken cradle. A chapel was added to the chancel, on the south side, probably in the 17th century. The portal is part of a braced arch, surrounded by fine columns. The square bell tower rises above the south transept arm.
