Église Saint-Georges de Bou, church in Bou, Loiret, France

Église Saint-Georges de Bou stands on rue de Meulin in Bou, on the right bank of the Loire. Its plan is a simple quadrilateral with side aisles that were begun in the 15th century but never vaulted; only the springing of the ribs remains in the masonry. The bell tower rests on a bay of the north aisle, with Romanesque lower levels and a Gothic bell chamber with trefoiled openings, reached by an external turret. The nave is covered by a plastered broken barrel vault showing tie beams and king posts.

Begun at the end of the 11th century, the church was altered and enlarged in the 13th and 15th centuries, leaving a patchwork construction: the tower's lower levels are Romanesque while its bell chamber has trilobed Gothic bays. The tower and choir were classified as monuments historiques on 28 October 1922; the nave and side aisles were inscribed on 7 March 1935. The altarpiece was restored in 2012 and the stained glass in 2015.

The church is dedicated to Saint George of Lydda, honoured on 23 April. It belongs to the Bou-Donnery-Mardié parish group, within the Bionne deanery, the Orléans pastoral zone, the Diocese of Orléans and the ecclesiastical province of Tours. The retable depicting the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was restored in 2012, and the stained-glass windows were renovated in 2015.

The church stands on rue de Meulin in Bou, on the right bank of the Loire within the Val de Loire UNESCO perimeter. The bell tower is reached by an external stair turret, and the south wall shows successive reworking in its openings. The nave and side aisles were only listed in 1935, so parts of the interior are modestly finished.

The church was listed in two stages: the bell tower and choir on 28 October 1922, then the nave and side aisles on 7 March 1935. The side aisles begun in the 15th century were never vaulted; only the springing of arches embedded in the masonry shows where rib vaults were planned.
