Église Notre-Dame de Surgères, Romanesque church in Surgères, France

The church features an octagonal bell tower with sixteen column clusters and four bells, including one weighing 420 kilograms from 1787.

The church's construction started in the 11th century, received historical monument status in 1862, and underwent reconstruction in 1899 after lightning damage.

The facade extends 23 meters with carved figures depicting zodiac signs, field work scenes, animal tamers, and mythological creatures on its capitals.

The building maintains regular opening hours and provides audio guides for visitors to explore its architectural details and historical significance.

The crypt beneath the choir contained tombs of Surgères castle lords until their destruction during the French Revolution.
