Description
Cette église est située en Anjou dans la commune de Doué la Fontaine
Eglise paroissiale saint Pierre, limite 15e siècle 16e siècle ; façade ouest reprise au 17e siècle ; sacristie construite en 1834 ; chapelle sud construite en 1866 par Charles Joly-Leterme. La construction de l'église actuelle est fixée au XVe siècle, elle est bâtie en remplacement de la première, édifiée en 1040.Pendant la Révolution, elle accueillit des prisonniers vendéens, puis fut transformée en entrepôt. Elle devint Temple de la Raison en l'An III de la République et le culte de l'Etre Suprême y fut célébré ; dans le même temps les cloches furent enlevées et envoyées à Saumur. Au XIXe siècle, les curés successifs s'employèrent à embellir l'église et ajoutèrent un baptistère, 2 petits autels, des vitraux et la chapelle sud .L'église, de style gothique, possédait autrefois des pinacles et des clochetons, hélas démolis, et le clocher d'ardoise a remplacé un beau clocher en pierre.

Not being a photographer, I never commented on yours, korduane (though I have always admired them), because I don't have a basis for determining what strengths or weaknesses they may or may not have.
However, it occurs to me how wonderful it must be to experience the beauty of the world through your eyes. Thank you so much for giving me a once removed opportunity to do so. :-)
