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. When it got restored after that, the ruined northern transept arm got demolished completely and never got rebuilt.

A bunch of garden gnomes with red caps settled in the shadow of the church.
