The church of Saint-Laurent-et-Notre-Dame de Gargilesse-Dampierre is a Catholic church located in the commune of Gargilesse-Dampierre, in the Indre department of the Centre-Val de Loire region. Built in the 12th century, it features a Romanesque architectural style. The church contains many treasures from this period, including fantastic animals carved on the capitals, biblical scenes, a frescoed crypt and a small Romanesque stained glass window dating from the 12th century. A Christ on the cross, with legs slightly bent and feet nailed separately, is also present. The church is a real gem of the region's heritage and is sure to charm visitors.

belle surprise
au-dessous cette belle petite église romane qui surplombe le petit village romantique de Gargilesse, il existe une crypte possédant de superbes fresques de la fin du 12ème (ou début du 13ème) qui ont bien résisté au temps
ce n'est pas l'extase qui vous attend comme pour celles de l'abbatiale de Saint SAVIN sur GARTEMPE à 50 km plus à l'ouest, mais à coup sûr vous serez séduits par les scènes du Nouveau Testament de belle facture artistique qui ornent les murs et le plafond (Visitation, annonciation, visite des Rois Mages , fuite en EGYPTE)
Par chance, un historien de l'art se trouvait sur place lorsque j'ai visité l'endroit, du coup la visite a pris une autre dimension
