St. Peter's Church, Pontlevoy

The Saint-Pierre church is a Catholic church, and Romanesque located in Pontlevoy, France. Its roof is made of stones. The church, which is included in the grounds of the abbey, must have preceded the current abbey church, built in the fifteenth century. An inscription in the northern cross of the church dates the foundation of the chapel dedicated to St. John the Baptist to the 11th century. The choir and a large part of the transept were rebuilt in the 15th century. The present nave dates from 1862. The oldest part includes the transept, with its apsidal chapel, the choir and the bell tower that rises from the transept crossing. In the corner of the chancel and the southern crosspiece stands a 15th century polygonal stair tower, leading to the bell tower.
