Église Saint-Germain de Boury-en-Vexin

About

Saint-Germain-d'Auxerre Church is a parish Catholic church located in Boury-en-Vexin, Oise department, France. Founded in the early 12th century by the local lord, it presents itself as a composite building, but with a rather simple rectangular plan and a single elevation level, six spans long and three spans wide. The two choir spans of the early 12th century are the oldest part.

Slightly more recent are the cross of the transept, at the same time base of the bell tower, and the southern crusillon, of the second quarter of the 12th century. These four spans are Gothic in style, but the windows were redone in the flamboyant period, and the vaults of the choir were taken over in the Renaissance. Due to two important reconstruction campaigns in the second quarter and at the end of the sixteenth century, flamboyant architecture and Renaissance reign over the other parts of the church and the two exterior elevations visible from the public road, with the exception of the north side of the nave, which dates only from the end of the Old Regime, and is vaulted curiously by cradle vaults perpendicular to the axis.
