Prisces - Saint-Médard

Prisces - Saint-Médard
The church, dedicated to Saint-Médard, dates to the 12th century and has some nicely sculpted Romanesque corbels. The huge donjon-like tower, built out of bricks, was added in the 16th century. The tower is massive, 25 metres high - and "dwarfs" the approaching visitor, this effect may have frighten mercenaries away, that roamed the area in search for any easy prey, - inbetween paid jobs.
