La Salle-les-Alpes - Saint-Marcellin

La Salle-les-Alpes - Saint-Marcellin
A church dedicated to Saint Marcellin (311-353), the first bishop of Embrun, existed here already in the 12th century. The church got enlarged and altered within the 16th century, the present choir was consecrated in 1669.

A narthex was added end of the 15th century. Six faces still flank the Romanesque side portal. There may have been a sculpted lintel and a tympanum, but these parts got lost.
