Eglise Saint-Pierre de Melle

Description

Dating from the Romanesque period, Saint-Pierre church was built outside the walls, to the north of the town, on an escarpment overlooking the Béronne valley. The parish church became the seat of a Benedictine priory. More sober than the church of Saint-Hilaire, the style is interesting, with broken barrel vaults and capitals featuring rare themes. The main entrance is to the south, on the town side. The portrait consists of an arcature housing a group of three mutilated figures: Christ, in the center, and saints Peter and Paul. Under the cornice, sculptures depict the badly damaged Christ, surrounded by the symbols of the four evangelists and the signs of the Zodiac.

Since 2024, the church has been home to Evariste Richer's Metaprism of Light.

The cemetery and Carolingian epitaphs are visible from outside the building.
