Asnières-sur-Vègre

Église Saint HilaireSarthe (72)

The ground plan of the church, dedicated to Saint Hilaire de Poitiers, is simple: a rectangular nave prolonged by a narrower rectangular choir. The nave dates back to the 11thcentury, whereas the choir was almost entirely rebuilt in the late 13thcentury. The walls of the church are adorned with numerous mural paintings: eighteen campaigns have been identified between the 1150s and the 16th century.
