Fontaines-d'Ozillac - Saint-Martin
A small, Romanesque church, erected in the 12th century, got too small during the time of the Renaissance. It had a wonderful carved facade - and got saved! A second nave was built beside it - and the new facade was constructed "around" the old one, so both styles now are under joined one gable. The church got renovated in the 1990s.
Following the "style saintonge", there is no tympanum, but lavishly carved archivolts over the doors, seen here. The large outer archivolt depicts six armed knights (archangels) spearing devils.
Here is a more detailled shot of one of these knights. I rotated this photo as imho now the details are better visible
