Brignancourt - Saint-Pierre-aux-Liens-et-Saint-Étienne

Brignancourt -  Saint-Pierre-aux-Liens-et-Saint-Étienne
The parish church of Brignancourt (pop. 200) is one of the oldest Romanesque churches in the area. The nave was completed already late of the 11th century. A transept dates to the 12th century, when the church got enlarged. The church got severely damaged during the Hundred Years War and rebuilt and restored after that.

Here is the southern portal (12th c.). The tympanum has a geometric pattern. The archivolt consists out of daisies. Small lion heads are placed on both ends of it.
