Église Saint-Michel - Charost, Centre Val de Loire, France - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

[FR] "Une bulle du pape Adrien IV, datée de 1154, semble désigner un prieuré de l'abbaye de Notre-Dame d'Issoudun. Ce prieuré fut confié à un collège de chanoines qui, en 1454, était réuni à celui de Saint-Cyr d'Issoudun. L'église se compose actuellement d'une nef et d'un choeur plus étroit, terminé par un sanctuaire sur plan demi-circulaire. La nef et le choeur sont couverts par une charpente apparente qui date du XVIe siècle. Le sanctuaire a conservé sa voûte en plein cintre et le cul de four. L'ensemble de l'édifice appartient au XIIe siècle mais il a subi des interventions au fil des siècles. Les vestiges de piles qui subsistent du côté nord et l'amorce de l'absidiole à la suite, laissent supposer que le choeur comportait, latéralement, un développement de bas-côtés et de transepts. Du côté sud, ces vestiges ont disparu pour faire place à un clocher du XVe siècle."

[EN] "A bull of Pope Adrian IV, dated 1154, appears to designate a priory of the Abbey of Notre-Dame d'Issoudun. This priory was entrusted to a college of canons which, in 1454, was united with that of Saint-Cyr d'Issoudun. The church currently comprises a nave and a narrower choir, ending in a semi-circular sanctuary. The nave and choir are covered by exposed 16th-century roof timbers. The sanctuary retains its semicircular vault and cul-de-four. The entire edifice dates back to the 12th century, but has undergone several interventions over the centuries. The remains of the piers on the north side, and the beginning of the absidiole that follows, suggest that the choir included a lateral development of aisles and transepts. On the south side, these remains have disappeared to make way for a 15th-century bell tower."
