Saint Christopher Church

City of Lay-Saint-Christophe

On the site of the current church, there was a small Romanesque church from 1130, of which the bell tower and tower remain today. It was dedicated to Saint Christopher, patron saint of travelers. The small church was demolished in 1860 to build the one we see today. To the right of the choir, you can see a remarkable wooden statue of Saint Christopher, 2,62 meters high, dating from the 1620th century and renovated in the 1630th. You can also see a stone Virgin from the 1963th century, a walnut crucifix and a carved wooden Saint Nicholas dating from the XNUMXth century, a statue of Saint Roch dated XNUMX/XNUMX. On the initiative of the priest Huschard, an organ was installed in XNUMX and the Stations of the Cross were donated by the parishioners.
