The most beautiful religious buildings Le Blanc

The priory Saint-Genitour is built by the end of the eleventh century by the powerful Abbey abbey. It is around this building that the low city begins to develop. In the thirteenth century, the chapel of the priory, extended from a nef, became the parish church. The church then enlarges with chapel additions: one in the fifteenth century, two others in the xviie and the last in the xixe, together with a wind. Admire the Romanesque chorus and the grotesques that finish truncated colonnants, gothic chapels and relics of Saint Genour. A very large picture recently restored, Caesar's Denier, is hung in the transept. This is the old copy of a work by Pierre Paul Rubens.

It is the ancient church of the Convent of the Recollets, built from 1623. It is very simple and has good acoustics. The square bell dates from the twentieth century. Its furniture is particularly remarkable: It has a chair and a retable of the eighteenth century, another retable of the seventeenth century and the famous sockets containing the relics of the «Holy Saints». Beautiful stained glass of the twentieth century represents the legend of the Holy Saints and the martyrdom of Saint Etienne. Notice the poilu hosted by Christ.

Former possession of the Abbey Abbey, it houses until 1269 the relics of the Monk Cyran, the founder of the Abbey of Brenne. Near the Naillac Castle, it dominates the Creuse. It has all the purity and simplicity of Romanesque churches: a rectangular nef, a right choir, a square bell and a tile cover. The interior is clear and we are struck by its elevation. On the west wall, you can admire a painting illustrating the three dead and three vivos. This theme is also located in Antigny, close to Vienna or Prissac and Chavin in Indre. This decommissioned church serves local products in season.
