Notre Dame crypte, Morthemer, Valdivienne, Poitou-Charentes, France

Many thanks to Joan Williams for securing the keys to the crypt for an early morning visit

Overlooking the charming village of Morthemer, the Notre Dame Church once formed part of the château. A complex edifice built in the 11th, 14th, and 15th centuries, the church has a single nave with four bays, a asymmetrical transept, and a semicircular chancel standing over a triple-aisled crypt, where one can see Gothic wall paintings. The church also reveals a small 11th century baptismal font and 16th century recumbent. Text lifted from... en.tourisme-vienne.com/eglises-et-abbayes/valdivienne/348...
