Eglise romane de Préporché
Highlight • Religious Site
In 1872 the church was restored, the Romanesque facade was destroyed in 1920, it was rebuilt set back for road reasons.
It is pierced with modern windows. The church is coated with Morvan granite and pink sandstone. The bell tower is rectangular in plan, it is imposing, its roof is gabled, it has a single bay on its four sides.
It has a wooden statue of Saint Peter from the 14th century.
Magnificent contemporary stained glass windows are to be discovered, eight stained glass windows, created by the artist Isabel Michel in 2000, their theme is the seasons, the nights, the burning bush and the angel of Saint Peter. Statue of Saint Peter, in wood covered with gray wash, traces of polychromy, it dates from the 14th century.
The church would have been built at the end of the 11th century. We find some features from this period in the facade and the west gable, with its Romanesque portal with jambs decorated with a simple column.
The building was restored in the 16th and 19th centuries. The apse has a flat bottom. The square bell tower is covered with a gable roof. Inside there is a beautiful 18th century altar, a rustic wooden gallery and a polychrome wooden statue of Saint Peter from the 14th century.
Saint Peter and Saint Paul: They cannot be separated. They are the two pillars of the Roman Church, it is the Church of Peter and Paul, the Church of direct witnesses who shared the life of the Lord.
Isabel Michel, victorious painter in the competition organized by the municipality, chose the theme of the four seasons to illustrate the stained glass windows of the church with the help of master glassmaker Guy Méliava.
