Saint-Mars-de-Locquenay
A Romanesque church which has undergone important alterations. The archivolt of the Romanesque doorway is supported by two brackets (culs-de-lampe): a lion on the left, a hare on the right.
The spire of the tower was struck by lightning, which accounts for its unusual shape.
On the northern wall of the nave, only a scene representing the childhood of Jesus is still legible.
On the southern wall of the nave, three scenes are still visible: the crucifixion of Saint Peter (head downwards) - The martyrdom of Saint Lawrence on the gridiron - A series of nine crowned heads symbolising Paradise.
