Tauriac - Saint-Etienne

Tauriac - Saint-Etienne
A "villa Tauriaca" was given to the Bishop of Le Mans already in 585 by some Alderic. At that time probably a chapel existed here. The portal dates to the 12th. century - and it is unusual, as it does have tympana in the flanking arches. Modifications were made, when the church got fortified in the 16th century.

The nave got a new floor in the early 19th century, the old level can still be seen here, as well some of one of the the old pillars and capitals.
