THE MEDIEVAL CEMETERY

In the cemetery of the small commune, seventy medieval tombstones are presented. Where do they come from? We do not know. Some wear swords of swords: the graves of the templar? Alléché by the name medieval cemetery, it is regrettable, by stopping in Ligné, that there is no more information about these mysterious slabs. In this same graveyard, extend your curiosity to the hosannière cross. The hosannières crosses are very common funeral monuments in Poitou-Charentes, which often overcome ossuaries or mass graves. In Ligné, the cross replaced the dead in the th century. In the church of the former Notre-Dame priory, Gothic murals represent original sin and the expulsion of paradise. The site has been classified as Historic Monument since 1973.
