Église Saint-Blaise de la Celle

The Saint-Blaise church features robust stone walls, semi-circular arches, and a central nave covered by a barrel vault reaching 11.15 meters in height.

Originally established as a priory of Déols Abbey in the early 12th century, the church underwent reconstruction after significant damage from a raid in 1156.

The church contains the tomb and relics of Saint Sylvain, apostle of Levroux, transferred there at the end of the 19th century.

The building extends 48.50 meters in length and includes multiple side chapels, making it suitable for both religious services and architectural study.

Gallo-Roman steles were integrated into the church masonry, while mysterious bas-reliefs decorate its austere facade.
