Saint-André-de-Cubzac - Saint-André-du-Nom-de-Dieu

Saint-André-de-Cubzac - Saint-André-du-Nom-de-Dieu
The church was built for the priory, founded by monks of the Benedictian Abbey Sauve-Majeure in 1115, but from this early church only few parts survived. The church got a gothic vault during the late 13th century, butresses were added, it got enlarged and altered a couple of times, especially when it got fortified during the Wars of Religions.

The eastern apse is still Romanesque - and so are the most of the corbels seen here. Here are two wrestling monkeys.
