Église de la Nativité-de-la-Vierge de Glénic, Medieval church in Glénic, France.

This church without a bell tower combines Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements, featuring a nave with four rib-vaulted bays and a five-sided apse.

Built between the late 11th and early 12th centuries on a former Gallo-Roman temple, the church was fortified during the Hundred Years War in the 15th century.

The 15th-century wall paintings, discovered in 1973, depict biblical scenes including the Fall of Adam and Eve.

The building, classified as a historical monument since 1989, hosts concerts and displays 7th-century sarcophagi for visitors to examine.

A Gallo-Roman epitaph lintel, uncovered during archaeological excavations, is displayed inside the church.
