Église Saint-Michel de Juziers

About

Saint-Michel Church is a parish Catholic church located in Juziers, Yvelines, France. Its origins date back to the 10th century. It was placed under the patronage of Saint-Père-en-Vallée de Chartres Abbey under the Ancien Régime, which maintained a priory north of the church from the 11th and until the end of the 17th century.

In its present form, the church consists of a very austere basilical nave from the middle of the eleventh century, a contemporary transept, and a choir from the third quarter of the twelfth century. The oldest parts are of great archaeological value, as very few buildings of this magnitude of this time remain in Île-de-France. However, their interest was diminished by the reconstruction of the western facade, the vaulting of warheads and the reduction of the arcade towards the south crusillon during the 1850s, and the collapse of the central bell tower in 1753, causing great damage in the transept.

The choir is equally valuable for its original architecture, not devoid of elegance, and as a witness to the beginnings of Gothic architecture. He hasn't undergone any alterations since he was built. The church Saint-Michel has been classified...
