Église Saint-Sulpice de Chars

The church features a four-level elevation structure with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses throughout its stone construction.

Construction of Saint-Sulpice de Chars began in 1145 with the nave and aisles, continuing until 1210 for the upper choir section.

The church contains classified historical furniture, including an 18th-century pulpit and a bronze bell from 1506 that survived the French Revolution.

Located at 51 Rue de l'Église in Chars, the building maintains regular opening hours and welcomes visitors interested in religious architecture.

The choir structure represents an early example of Gothic cathedral design, with a rare four-story elevation found in only five other French churches.
