Saint-Pierre-du-Mont (Canton of Isigny-sur-Mer, Calvados) Church of Saint-Pierre |
The church of Saint-Pierre-du-Mont consists of a nave, a choir with flat chevet from the 13th century and a modern tower between the choir and the nave. All it retained from the Romanesque period is its nave, with walls showing traces of fish bone masonry work, and an interesting series of cornice brackets, under a cornice ornamented with crosses. A portal on the south wall offers a tympanum with a geometrical decorative pattern.
