Free visit of the Church of Pizieux (72600)
Church built from the 11th century that faces the porch of the former presbytery. Remarkable stained glass windows. Exterior plasters restored in 2016-2018. Calvary restored in 2022.
The church dating from the 11th-12th centuries has a single nave and a chancel with flat chevet dating from the Romanesque period lit by a triplet with a pair of rubble arranged in ears.
The west facade is also equipped with an oversized and strangely out of place rosette, it was also walled up at the time of the installation of a support stool for the bell tower. The church is located in the middle of its cemetery surrounded by its walls.
In 1873, the sacristy was damaged by a fire and in 1882, the south wall of the nave, which threatened to collapse, was heavily altered. Work on the panelling was carried out in 1910 and on the bell tower in 1923. A second renovation of the bell tower was carried out in 1979. In 1969, the roof of the church was rebuilt.
A new double door was installed in 1987. The church is illuminated by contemporary stained glass windows, sober and refined, created by Mr. Michel Madore, in 2009.
The renovation works of the north, west, south facades and the south chapel as well as the cemetery walls are completed in 2018.
Calvary restored in 2022.
