Arbois - Saint Just

A carved head. It may have been added, when the vaults were constructed in the 13th century. The face looks somehow "modernistic".

The nave (here seen from the altar) and the two aisles were built within the 11th century. The church probably had a wooden ceiling then, the early-gothic vaults were constructed about 200 years later. The collumns (alternating round and rectangular) remind on romanesque churches in south-eastern Burgundy (i.e. St. Philibert, Tournus).

The massive tower of l'église Saint-Just is -by far- the highest structure in the little town of Arbois. It was constructed as a watchtower in 1528 and at that time was even 15m higher than today (still 44m). Helmet and lantern were added to the tower in 1715. Famous Louis Pasteur knew this sight, as he was raised here and later often returned to his home in Arbois, now a museum.
