Gensac-la-Pallue - Saint-Martin
Gensac-la-Pallue is a small town, about 10kms southeast of Cognac, with a population of 1500. Saint Martin is the large parish church of the town. It is not known, who financed this church, when it was erected within the 12th century (the choir and tower were added a century later) and there are no obvious connections to one of the important abbeys of the area, but for a parish church, built on swampy grounds, this is a pretty prestigious structure.
Saint-Martin has a western facade, that is extraordenary, as not many churches in the Poitou have three (!) horizontal registers/levels with a kind of rythm: 3 arches, topped by 5 arches, topped by 6 arches. There is a long frieze-like band extending all over the facade. This frieze is in parts pretty weathered after 800 years. I do not know, who is the peron to the very left, but Samson, tearing the lion apart (left) and Abraham, sacrificing his son (right), can still be recognized. The angel and the ram are on their way..
