Église Saint-Pierre de Thaon, Romanesque church in Thaon, France.
The Saint-Pierre church features a rectangular choir, a five-bay nave, and a two-story tower built during the 12th century Norman period.
The church received its official historical monument classification in 1840, marking it among the first protected heritage sites in France.
Stone modillions adorning the exterior walls display numerous carved faces, reflecting medieval artistic expressions and social representations of that time.
Access to the church requires advance contact with local authorities, as the building maintains restricted visiting hours for preservation purposes.
Archaeological studies revealed multiple religious structures on the site, including 7th-century sarcophagi beneath the current church foundation.
