Built in the early 11th century, the Church of St. Stephen of Vignory, a listed Historic Monument, is a remarkable example of architecture prefiguring the Romanesque style. Its nave with three levels, topped with an exposed roof structure, sculpted capitals, ambulatory chancel, many medieval statues and Romanesque bell tower with three floors of bays, make it an unmissable destination for all lovers of sacred art.
The ruins of the feudal castle of the lords of Vignory still remain in the heights of the village: a 12th-century keep, 15th-century Well Tower, and courtyards. At the foot of the castle is a medieval-inspired garden, with a kitchen garden of old vegetable varieties and a medicinal plant garden.
Address | 18-20 Rue du Général Leclerc, Vignory |
