Pérignac - Saint-Pierre
Saint-Pierre of today is a fortified church dating back to the 12th century. It replaced a small chapel, that existed here since 989.
The Romanesque facade got remodeled a couple of times over the centuries, but there are still many great carvings and sculptures.
The two tiers have virtues and vices (most are lost) and below are the twelve apostles with Mary in the center. Here all statues have lost their heads. I found the info, that the decapitation took place 1848, more than half a century after the Revolution. Strange!
Here is one the head of a virtue, one of the very few, that survived the furor.
