Bouhet - Saint-Laurent

Bouhet - Saint-Laurent
The parish church of Bouhet was erected within the 12th/13th century. It was the church of a priory dependent on the abbey of Saint-Jean de Montierneuf in Poitiers. The church was terribly mutilated during the Wars of Relegions and so only a few parts of the Romanesque structure survived and can be seen today.

When it was tried to "rebuilt what was left of the the church after the destruction, it was not possible to put back the carvings "in situ", as most of the church was just gone.

Here is an acrobat, two beasts on the capital in the center and (half of) a lion, chewing the tail.
