The Saint-Jacques church is the only religious building in Poitou-Charentes which has a carillon of 50 bells

With two bell towers and consecrated in 1066 by Isembert II, bishop of Poitiers, the church is located on the road to Santiago de Compostela. You can also see a statue of Saint James in pilgrim's clothing and in polychrome wood, dated from the 17th century. The church was entirely restored in the 19th century and its neo-Romanesque facade dates from this period. It is the only religious building in Poitou-Charentes to have a carillon of 50 bells, classified as a historical monument, which a keyboard allows to ring. An extraordinary instrument!

Eglise Saint-Jacques 86100 Châtellerault
Lors de ma visite à Châtellerault, fin mars dernier, des travaux de rénovation extérieure n'empêchaient pas de découvrir la partie supérieure magnifique de l’Église Saint-Jacques ainsi que, bien sûr, son intérieur. C'est une belle église de quartier dotée de deux clochers renfermant un carillon de 52 cloches classé Monument Historique. J'ai tout particulièrement apprécié la fresque sculptée de personnages de sa façade et, à l'intérieur, le maître-autel, la statue de Saint-Jacques en habit de pèlerin ainsi que les différentes peintures. Selon moi, cette église mérite le détour.
