The village of Uchizy (about 9km south of Tournus) was first mentioned, when Louis II
(aka "Louis the Stammerer") donated it to the monastery St.- Philibert in Tournus in 878. The church was built late 11th century probably by monks from Tournus. The church has this nice bell-tower, constructed over the crossing. The highest level of the tower has different windows. It was added later, when it was used as a watchtower.
The area around Tournus is dotted with romanesque churches. Nearly every village has conserved it´s church. They are open - not locked up as otherwise.
