Varaize - Saint-Germain

A priory, dependent from the Abbaye Royale in Saint-Jean-d'Angély, existed here in the 12th century, the church Saint-Germain was erected end of that century.

Today it serves the parish - and is in state of urgent repair. The western walls are cracked and the structure is temporarily stabilized by a construction of wooden beams, seen here from the aisle. The southern entrance (see previous uploads) is on the left.
