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.
A corbel under the roof, where a depressed, flaky monster devours a poor soul. The victim has not given up so far. He tries to salute by raising his arm with the clenched fist.
