Église Saint-Genès de Thiers, Romanesque church in Thiers, France.
The Church of Saint-Genès features thick stone walls, rounded arches, and a large central dome spanning 102 square meters in the medieval district of Thiers.
The original church construction dates from the 6th century, while the current building was erected in the 12th century with later modifications in the 14th and 15th centuries.
The church contains numerous regional artworks, including the Notre-Dame du Pont sculpture group and paintings by local artist Pierre Beynel within its stone walls.
