Church remarkable by the quality of its sculptures and its ornamentation which is located in Jazeneuil
Another masterpiece of Romanesque art! This building, whose construction began in the middle of the 12th century, is remarkable for the quality of its sculptures and its ornamentation. Long before this church, in the 4th century, three chapels dedicated to the Virgin, Saint Genevieve and Saint Macou were already the object of devotion. It is probable that the name of the church comes from the presence of the spring, recalling the baptism, leading to the fountain of Saint Macou.

La base de l’abside porte de longues et minces arcades en plein cintre réunies par quatre entre les contreforts. Elles sont ornées de boutons côtelés et rappellent celles de l’abbatiale de Saint-Jouin-de-Marnes que nous avons visitée lors du même voyage.
La façade occidentale n’est pas aussi ornée que celle d’autres églises romanes du Poitou mais les chapiteaux attirent le regard.
