Le clocher date du XI ème siècle, c'est la partie de cette église la plus ancienne qui subsiste. Il est bâti par un appareillage de pierres façonnées au marteau. Il est haut de 22 mètres. La large ouverture sur son dernier étage est nécessaire pour le mouvement des cloches.

Ce très ancien clocher est superbe, avec ses décorations en arches, et ses belles fenêtres romanes, les plus hautes étant plus larges car dédiées aux cloches......magnifique prise de vue avec un coin de montagne au fond, Jean-Claude !

I always marvel at the stonework in these old structures--wonder if anyone has determined how many man hours were necessary to erect something like this...great capture, Jean :)

Un ensemble architectural impressionnant, avec cette contre-plongée qui agrandit encore davantage les lignes de fuite du clocher. Une photo magnifique, J-Claude, merci de la partager pour le plus grand bien de nous tous et de notre patrimoine hexagonal.
