Saint-Médard de Brunoy church, 12th century Romanesque church in Brunoy, France.
Saint-Médard de Brunoy is a Romanesque church with distinctive architectural features that reflect different construction periods. The building contains several interior spaces with stonework and window arrangements typical of medieval churches in the region.
The church was built starting in the 12th century on the site of an earlier Merovingian chapel, using its foundations as a base. Major expansions occurred in following centuries, adding new sections and reshaping the structure over time.
The stained glass windows display biblical scenes that fill the interior with colorful light and draw the eye upward as you walk through the space. These works shape how visitors experience the building from the moment they arrive.
The building is located on Monmartel Street in Brunoy and can be reached by public transport or car. Visitors should check ahead about access times, as historic churches often have limited hours or may require advance notice for entry.
In the 18th century, a major interior redesign created a complete artistic ensemble throughout the church's spaces. This era of decoration remains visible today and shapes how visitors experience the building from room to room.
