Church of Saint Peter, Thaon: Raking view of side elevation with blind arcades and view of tower

An old parish church (now disused) built in the eleventh and twelfth century in the valley of the Mue outside of the present village of Thaon. It is a fine example of the Romanesque architecture of Normandy . Listed as an historical monument by the list of 1840 (at which point it was closed as a church). First mentioned in a charter, 1147. Between 1896 and 1901, a major restoration campaign was designed by architect Leon Benouville. In its current state, the church consists of a two-storey tower, the only part still standing from a first Romanesque building erected during the second half of the eleventh century, a rectangular choir of two bays, and a nave with five bays built ca. 1130. The nave originally had two aisles, now gone.
