![]() Stiens (Fr): reformed church
The
walls of this church clearly show that it has a history of many changes
and rebuilts. A tuff Romanesque church was built in either the 11th or
12th century. Later the small windows were closed and replaced by
larger, pointed ones. The wall at the north side has survived better
than its southern counterpart. On both sides there are traces of what
were possibly chapels. Several entrances have been closed. The choir
was replaced by a new brick one in the 13th century, which was
heightened several times. The outside layer of brick dates from the
19th century and contrasts sharply with the nave. |
