Église Saint-Nicolas de Tavant, Romanesque church in Tavant, France.
Saint Nicolas Church features a three-part facade with blind arcades and side aisles, incorporating architectural elements from the Limousin and Berry regions.
The church construction took place between the late 11th and early 12th centuries, coinciding with the transfer of Saint Nicolas relics to Bari in 1087.
The crypt frescoes display a Christ in Majesty surrounded by evangelical scenes, forming a 12th-century pictorial ensemble noted for its stylistic consistency.
Visits are scheduled Tuesday through Saturday, from 10 AM to 12 PM and 2 PM to 6 PM, with admission fees of 5€ for adults and 2€ for children aged 11-14.
The crypt, rediscovered in 1862, contains original frescoes that survived through centuries without being covered, requiring multiple restorations in the 20th century.
