Église Notre-Dame du Menoux

The Église Notre-Dame du Menoux is a church building with neo-Gothic design featuring two side chapels, a flat choir, and three stained glass windows. The windows depict scenes from the Virgin Mary's life and structure the light within the interior.

Architect Alfred Dauvergne designed and built this church during the 1870s using architectural elements typical of religious buildings from that era. The construction reflected the widespread building styles and design principles of the time.

The church houses modern frescoes created by Bolivian artist Jorge Carrasco between 1968 and 1976, depicting themes of human and universal creation across its interior walls. These large-scale murals reflect the artistic vision of a contemporary creator within a traditional religious space.

The building is part of the Archdiocese of Bourges and operates as a parish under Argenton-sur-Creuse with regular religious services. Visitors should check opening times and observe respectful behavior during active services.

Francis Chigot created the three choir stained glass windows in 1929, contributing his artistic skill to this building in the Indre department. The artist was known for his glasswork across many French religious buildings.
