About the location

Église Saint-Aignan
Place Saint-Aignan, 37150 Epeigné-les-Bois
  • Indre-et-Loire
  • Centre-Val de Loire
The parish belonged in 816 to the abbey of Villeloin, the current church was built above the underground called source of Saint-Aignan. The vaulted choir in the cul-de-four and the northern lattice in the cradle date back to the 12th and 13th centuries. The nave is divided into two square bays with six vaults. Its western facade was restored in recent times, openwork of a triplet in third-point whose middle bay is higher than the two laterals.
The nave, from the 13th century, is divided into two square bays, vaulted with sexpartite vaults, like the church of Nouans-Les-Fontaines, its contemporary. The transverse warheads fall on engaged half-columns. Each half span is illuminated only to the north by a lancet window.
This nave leads to a transept whose square and southern crust have been revised on warheads. The northern crust is older. It dates from the 12th century and has retained its barrel vault.
In this arm opens a semi-circular apsidiol where one notices a Virgin of the sixteent
