Église Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens de Condécourt

About

The church Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens, or Saint-Pierre-aux-Liens, is a parish Catholic church located in Condécourt, in the French department of Val-d'Oise. It dates back, in its oldest parts, to the end of the 11th century: it is the base of the bell tower with its arches in full hanger falling on impostes decorated with steel teeth, and its arch vault. This span is not visible from the outside, as it is embedded in more recent constructions.

The first floor of the octagonal bell tower is also of archaic Romanesque style, and should not be before the very beginning of the twelfth century. The second floor, simpler, was added to the Gothic period. Overall, the church of Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens is of a fairly simple architecture, with a single level of elevation, and is characterized by the juxtaposition of four square spaces from four distinct construction campaigns, namely the rustic nave of the eighteenth century; the base of the bell tower already reported; the Gothic choir of the second quarter of the thirteenth century; and the right span of the chapel of the Virgin, north of the bell tower.

This chapel ends with an apse in the hemicycle, including the cornice, the foothills...
