Eglise de Saint-Gengoux-le-National

Built in the 11th century by the monks of Cluny as the centre of a deanery, the church has been altered over the centuries, with a Romanesque transept, a beautiful cross with a dome over round arches, a large octagonal bell tower whose two lower storeys, which have been preserved, date from the very end of the Romanesque period, and a Gothic choir with a superb neo-Gothic stained glass window.
Listed as a Historic Monument in 1926, the church is one of the Cluniac Sites and is therefore on the list of candidates for UNESCO World Heritage status. It is currently being restored in three phases under the direction of architect Pierre Raynaud, with the Town Hall acting as project manager.
