Église Saint-Michel de Nantua
Église Saint-Michel de Nantua, Romanesque church in Nantua, France.
Saint-Michel Church features Romanesque architecture with a central choir, a high altar adorned with white marble angels and a Renaissance chapel.
The building, the last remnant of a Benedictine abbey established in 671, transformed into a priory in 1100 under Cluniac order influence.
Saint Anne Chapel contains a stone altarpiece, a Pietà and stained glass windows, while the church holds an Eugene Delacroix painting depicting Saint Sebastian's martyrdom.
The church bell tower received historical monument status in 1907, with additional protection granted to the entire building in September 2015.
The vault arches of Saint Anne Chapel demonstrate the Renaissance architectural excellence in the Ain region.
