Eglise Saint Laurent

The church has been part of the dependencies of the Cluniac priory on the island of Aix since the Romanesque period. Built during this period, it was given a Gothic choir in the 15th century, and two side chapels in the 16th century. Ravaged during the Wars of Religion, it was completely uncovered in 1640 and restored in the mid-17th century. The Romanesque façade opens with a portal with three bare arches. The capitals are decorated with water leaves. The capitals supporting the cornice are also carved. The facade is crowned by an undecorated pediment and a single-bay wall-belfry. On the north side of the church are the buildings of the former priory, with a basket-handle door dated 1656. Inside, the single nave and the choir have lost their vaults in favour of a plaster ceiling on lath. To the west, there is a deep gallery with neo-Gothic openwork decoration. To the east, the walls have been opened up by broken arches communicating with side chapels, covered with brick ceilings. Four columns on a dosseret, with blocked or masked bases and historiated capitals, remain from the decoration of the Romanesque period. The entire church (cad. C 998): listed as a Historic Monument by order of 22 October 2003 Protected movable objects: painting registered as a Movable Object.
