Saint-Quantin-de-Rançanne - Saint-Quantin

Saint-Quantin-de-Rançanne - Saint-Quantin
The single nave church was erected within the 12th century. The church got damaged during the Wars of Religions, when the bell tower, that stood above the choir, was completely destroyed.

There are some extraordinary carvings.

Here is a closer look onto the facade. In a line all over the facade, just above the doors, are 23 horse's heads. The heads are carved very rough, but they are all different. Why horses? I remember that horses are as well in Saint-Fort-sur-Gironde..

Above are some unique, very elegant capitals - and strange corbels!
