Geocache Description:


Eglise Saint Maurice

 

Saint Maurice's church dates back to the 12th century. Through the times it knew important alterations. The nave has a wooden roof and it is separated from the choir by a wall with a painted opening.

The crypt underneath is older. It is made up of a single nave separated in two bays by two raws of stone pillars with ornamented capitals. The seigneurs of Mainzac used it as a burial place.

Une trappe ouverte dans le sol au ras de la travee sous clocher permet d'accéder à la crypte rectangulaire, construite en petit appareil de pierre de taille. Une petite ouverture presque carrée a été pratiqué dans la voute et communiquait avec l'intérieur de l'abside. Les seigneurs de Mainzac avaient leurs sépultures dans cette crypte.
