생사벵쉬르가르탕 교회

‘로마네스크 시스티나 예배당’이라는 별칭으로 알려진 생 사벵 쉬르 가르텅프 교회에는 11세기와 12세기에 그려진 많은 아름다운 벽화가 놀랄 만큼 온전한 상태로 지금까지 보존되어 있다. 이 성당은 생 사벵에 있는 수도원 부속 성당이다.

Abbey Church of Saint-Savin-sur-Gartempe

The Romanesque church was begun in the mid-11th century and contains many beautiful 11th- and 12th-century murals which are still in a remarkable state of preservation. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983. The cruciform church carries a square tower over its crossing. The transept was built first, then the choir with its ambulatory with five radial chapels in the polygonal apse.
