Notre-Dame de l'Assomption in Palinges , a commune in the Saône-et-Loire in the region of Burgundy ( France ), is a parish church , built in the 12th century.
history
Before the French Revolution , the parish of Palinges belonged to the archdeaconate of Perrecy-les-Forges and was subordinate to the Bishop of Autun . The feudal lord was the Baron von Digoine. Since the church had become too small for the community in the 19th century, a larger nave was built.
The church of Palinges was largely rebuilt in the 19th century in the neo-Romanesque style. From the Romanesque period it still has the transept , the apses and the bell tower .
architecture
The main portal with a white tympanum is surrounded by three circular arch curvatures which on columns with plants capitals rest. There is a rose window above the portal that gives light to the gallery .
The nave was rebuilt in 1858 and has six bays . The Romanesque transept is not protruding. The three semicircular apses form a wreath. The central apse is flanked by two smaller apses set back a little. The main nave is connected to the side aisles by arched arcades , which rest on round pillars with carved capitals. The capitals have plant motifs. The crossing is vaulted by a dome that rests on trumpets . The ambulatory has seven small round arches. The main nave is covered by ribbed vaults that rest on pilasters decorated with capitals .
Interior
The church has numerous plaster statues , e.g. B. the Virgin Mary , St. Joseph and St. Anthony of Padua . A wooden sculpture from the beginning of the 16th century depicts John the Baptist . In the choir there is a painting of the Virgin Mary with child. The lead glass windows , made in the 1920s, show episodes from the life of Jesus and Our Lady.
