Pérignac - Saint-Pierre

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.

Along the nave are some capitals, created in the typical style saintongeais. Here snakes whisper sinful tales into the men's ears, who hold them.
