Lantheuil (Canton of Creully, Calvados) Church of Sainte-Trinité-de-Pierrepont

   The disused church of Pierrepont presents a flat chevet and gable wall with bell bays between the nave and the choir. Only the nave is Romanesque. The most remarkable elements of this nave are the portal of the façade, a relief representing two quadrupeds biting each others’ tails above a window in the south wall and the sculpted cornice brackets with grotesque figures, with the spaces decorated with chequered patterns.
