Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Montrésor, 16th century church in Montrésor, France

The Saint-Jean-Baptiste church features a cross-shaped plan with an apse ending in a polygonal shape, displaying both Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements.

The church was established in 1521 by Imbert de Bastarnay as a collegiate church and burial site, receiving its monument classification status in 1840.

The church's capitals contain intricate carvings of acanthus leaves, water foliage, scrolls, rosettes, human figures, and mythological creatures from the 16th century.

The municipality maintains the church and provides free access to visitors interested in exploring its architectural and historical features.

The lateral chapels form the arms of a small cross and contain square coffered ceilings decorated with sculpted figures and heraldic elements.
