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.
