Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Moustiers-Sainte-Marie
Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, Romanesque church in Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, France.
The limestone church features a five-level bell tower with twin openings and reinforced supports, constructed using local tuff stone during the 12th century.
The church originated from a 5th-century monastery established by Lérins monks, who later fled from Saracen attacks and returned in the 11th century.
The church houses a white marble sarcophagus from the 4th century that serves as an altar, displaying scenes of the crossing of the Red Sea.
The church stands in the center of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, which belongs to the association of the Most Beautiful Villages of France.
The Gothic choir section, added in 1336 by Prior Pierre de Pratis, presents a misalignment with the Romanesque nave, creating an unusual architectural composition.
