法国 宝尚岛 圣莱奥纳尔隐修院 (法语: Le Prieuré de Saint Léonard) 遗址

ngsunyu

L'Île Bouchard, a small town straddling the Vienne river - an obviously important strategic location - with a defensible island in the middle of the wide river, formerly the location of the castle of the Lord of Bouchard. The castle was finally demolished (with so many other fortifications) on the orders of their local neighbour, Cardinal Duc de Richelieu.

Le Prieuré de Saint Léonard was set up in the 1100s by the Lord of Bouchard as part of a dowry agreement for the marriage of his daughter.  It prospered right up to the Revolution but was finally torn down in the 1790s.  But the revolutionaries were loth to destroy the altar and semicircular apse of the priory, which stand to this day.  It has been carefully preserved as a National monument because of the astonishing capital carvings that recount the life of Christ in primitive sculpture.  It is in Romanesque style and dates from the era of the Norman conquest of England.  (http://richelieu-eminencerouge.b ... -lile-bouchard.html)

邮票上是 圣莱奥纳尔隐修院 半圓形後殿 左边柱头石雕。圣莱奥纳尔隐修院遗址只留下半圓形後殿。 隐修院的其他部分在法国革命时被毁坏了。老明信片是维修前的照片。 我找不到维修后的明信片。
