SIGHTSEEING

Church of Saint-Quentin twelfth, thirteenth, 15th and 16th centuries: Isolated on the edge of town, the church offers a real variety of styles ranging from Romanesque to Renaissance. His plan is in itself quite remarkable. A vast nave, flanked by a tower to the north, is extended by a bedside composed of a straight bay and a three-sided apse. The western facade, with its portal and the bottom of the tower and north wall of the nave belong to the first season of the 12th century, while the bedside already vaulted Gothic ribbed vaults, illustrates the turn of 12th and 13th centuries. In the 15th century, a stately chapel, covered with a ribbed complex was built east of the tower against the bedside. At the same time, the crowning octagonal spire is included.

Baptismal font of the 17th century: In the chapel porch forming the ground floor of the tower, the baptismal font is installed just above a crypt ossuary. Its funds come from a block of stone carved into an octagonal bowl and closed by a circular wooden lid. Besides the current moldings at the base and top, the tank is decorated on one side by the arms of the family De Goy, these characteristic motifs of hearts. A crested helmet is placed above the shield. It is not unusual in the 17th century baptismal tanks are offered by a family or a generous donor.
