Tourism Autry-Issards

Romanesque church which essentially dates from the early twelfth century with magnificent carved portal and tympanum and steeple.

The legacy of the early Middle Ages (building long and low, repeated use of the lintel saddleback) and decorative Cluniac influences (including fluted pilasters) go together. The steeple of the stone spire is one of the most senior of the department. the eardrum shows two angels holding a mandorla where previously a Christ enthroned in glory found in the nearby church of Meillers. they are surrounded by arcades which are hanging lamps. Very rarely, the artist signed his work: "Natalis me fecit". Inside Pieta painting on wood, late fifteenth century Flemish school.
