[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 824829, member: 53455"] Thanks, Paul! [B]A fortified priory (2021)[/B] If you think this looks more like a castle than a church, I can’t fault you. This is the village of Champdieu (literally, “God’s Field”) in the small province of Forez, on the eastern edge of Auvergne (all of that is more or less in the center of France, roughly). In 970, the local lord donated the parish church, as well as some lands around it, to the abbey of Manglieu in neighboring Auvergne. The Carolingian church was, unfortunately, completely razed and the Benedictine monks erected the church we can still see today around Year 1000, and turned the place into a priory, which was a kind of “subsidiary”, if you will, to an abbey (the “parent company”). The priory was fortified as a defense during the Hundred Years War —and that was, roughly again, between 1350 and 1450. Nikon Z7, Nikkor 19mm, ƒ/4 PC-E tilt-shift lens, manual focus, FTZ adapter. Gitzo tripod, Benro geared head. [ATTACH type="full"]410953[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
