Église Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul de Moutiers-en-Puisaye

The Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul church features Romanesque architecture with a 13th-century porch and numerous medieval wall paintings covering 200 square meters of interior space.

Founded in the 10th century as part of an 8th-century monastery, the church served as a stopover for pilgrims traveling to Saint Peter's tomb in Rome.

The medieval frescoes, created between the 12th and 15th centuries, depict biblical scenes, including Genesis, the Flood, and representations of various saints.

The church is located on Rue de l'Église in Moutiers-en-Puisaye, within driving distance of the Colette Museum and the Guédelon Castle.

Japanese restorer Hisao Takahashi spent twelve years, from 1984 to 1996, carefully restoring the church's medieval wall paintings that were hidden under 18th-century whitewash.
