Paulnay

Travel Guide

Paulnay (Indre) Eglise Saint-Etienne. (Détail du portail). Construite dans le plus pur style roman poitevin, l’église actuelle ne remonte pas au-delà du XIIe siècle. La façade, qui ressemble à celle de Notre-Dame de Fontgombault (Indre), est remarquable par son magnifique portail orné de sculptures (motifs végétaux, sirènes, oiseaux) Paulnay possède un bel ensemble de fresques (15ème siècle): vestiges de l’Enfer (côté nord de la nef), calendrier et travaux des mois, anges musiciens (travée droite du chœur), Christ en majesté au cul-de-four, et au-dessous sous forme de bandeau les épisodes du martyre de saint Etienne, patron de l’église. Le site de Paulnay remonterait à une époque antérieure au Moyen-Age, en effet lors de fouilles, les assises d’un temple gallo-romain ont été découvertes ainsi que des inhumations dont les plus anciennes dateraient de l’époque mérovingienne comme le témoignent les deux sarcophages exposés sur le parvis. Le bourg de Paulnay a révélé plusieurs milliers de sépultures sur la place devant l’église. St. Stephen's Church. Built in typical Roman-style Poitevin, the current 12th century church. The facade, similar to that of Our Lady of Fontgombault (Indre), is remarkable for its beautiful portal decorated with sculptures (plant motifs, sirens, birds) Paulnay has a fine collection of paintings (15th century): remains of Hell (north side of the nave), calendar and work for months angel musicians (right row of the choir), Christ in Majesty on the cul-de-four , and below in the form of banner episodes of the martyrdom of St. Stephen, the church's patron. Site Paulnay dates back to a time before the Middle Ages. Indeed, during excavations, the foundations of a Roman temple were discovered. The two sarcophagi, exposed on the square are of Merovingian. The village of Paulnay revealed several thousand graves in the square outside the church.
