Noailhac - Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens

Noailhac - Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens
"Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens" ("Saint Peter in Chains") is the parish church of Noailhac. The erection of the church started in the 12th century and was probably completed soon after.

The church got partly destroyed during the Hundred Years War, so the nave was rebuilt later in a simple Gothic style, that again suffered damage during the French Revolution.

Large parts of choir of Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens is still Romanesque - and there are some extraordinary capitals. Here is one of them.

A scene from Paradise. The snake has given Eve an apple. She hands over one fruit to Adam, - while God (nimbus) faces the onlookers on the other side of the capital. Above the Tree of Knowledge is a nosy sun.
