ABBEY CHURCH OF ST. LEGER
Go there and contact
Abbey church in Ebreuil with a monumental rectangular bell tower-porch and a central nave of basilica type with 6 bays.
Founded in the 10th century by the Poitevin monks of Saint-Maixent, the abbey church is astonishing for its gigantic proportions and the different styles that coexist there. It was built over a long period, from the beginning of the 11th to the end of the 12th century. One enters through a monumental rectangular bell tower-porch, built around 1125 on the model of Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire. Inside, the gaze embraces a central nave of basilical type of six bays, five of which are covered with a wooden frame. The 12th century frescoes decorating the pillars are of great beauty.
