Église Saint-Lucien de Méru

About

Saint Lucian Church is a parish Catholic church located in Méru, Oise, Hauts-de-France, France. It is a large building from several construction campaigns between the end of the 11th century and 1678, which is characterized by a six-span panelled nave with a simple bill, bordered by a Renaissance side to the south and a modern side to the north, and leads to the east on the basis of the Romanesque bell tower remodeled in the Gothic period. There is no Romanesque element inside the church, and on the outside, the 1511 bell tower with its high frame arrow of 1511 conceals the old tower, except the west face of its top floor.

As a peculiarity, the base of the bell tower does not communicate with the two crucifixes added in the sixteenth century, of which the southern one extends eastward by a small chapel. To the east, a Gothic choir of two spans, finished in flat bedside, follows the base of the bell tower. Not visible since the nave, however, it is the most remarkable part of the church, and has changed little since its construction in the years 1220 / 1230.

Also worthy of interest is the south side with its undulating Gothic pillars...
