Chadenac - Saint-Martin
A priory, dependent from the (once important) Benedictian abbey Saint-Sauveur de Charroux existed here since the 12th century. At that time Saint-Martin was erected as the church for the priory.
The church got enlarged and vaulted in the 13th and 14th century, but during the Wars of Religion (1562–1598), the structure got severely damaged, so that the ceiling and the crossing dome collapsed.
The imposant western facade with the large archivolts survived the attacks. The priory was sold after the French Revolution and all buildings, but the church, got demolished. Today Saint-Martin serves as the parish church of the small village.
The main portal in the architectural style, that is typical for the Saintonge. Two blind arches flank the larger arch/doors. There is no central tympanum, but a multitude of archivolts.
The left arch.
Another fight in the center (I´ll upload a detailed shot). The capitals in front are very weathered. A pillar-eater to the left, some mythic birds to the right. All large statues of the facade are beheaded and vandalized. Either by the Huguenots or later from the Revolutionists.
