Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Vouvant church, Romanesque church in Vouvant, France.
Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption church displays rounded arches, thick limestone walls, and a substantial bell tower defining its Romanesque architecture.
The church construction began in 1019 under William V of Aquitaine and received historical monument status from Prosper Mérimée in 1840.
The north portal features intricate medieval sculptures depicting human figures, plant motifs, and mythical creatures from the 12th century.
Visitors can explore the church interior daily, with direct access from Place de l'Église in central Vouvant.
The crypt, uncovered in 1854, contains a Merovingian sarcophagus and 12th-century carved elements beneath the main structure.
