Church Saint-Lubin

Monument in Suèvres

The Saint-Lubin church is located in the commune of Suèvres, in the Loir-et-Cher department, 14 km northeast of Blois.

It is one of the three places of worship in the village. The building is located to the east of the town, near the Château des Forges. It was built from the 11th and 12th centuries on the site of an ancient ancient temple dedicated to Apollo.

Alterations have been carried out but the church remains an example of Romanesque architecture. The stone bell tower is an illustration of this, which has a Romanesque portal at its base while on one side of the nave, a Gothic portal has been pierced.

The church itself, classified in 1862, retains several engraved plaques, old caskets, stained glass windows, paneling and a statue, all classified as objects. Among them, there is an altar whose front is formed by a piece of carved wooden chest, divided vertically by arabesque pilasters which delimit five scenes. In the center, the Virgin and the adoring Magi are represented, on the right, the Nativity, on the left the arrival of the Magi on horseback and the Flight into Egypt. The work dates from the 15th century.

Note also that in the garden adjoining the building, there is a massive stone which is locally reputed to be of Druidic origin.

The church finally presents one last singularity: it is now included within the perimeter of private property. As a result, it is only open to the public one week a year, during May, during an artistic exhibition offered by the town's tourist office. Inquire at +33 9 85 23 15 62.
