The fortified church of Saint Pancras

In the village of Le Breuil near Lyon (southeastern France) stand this remarkable late Romanesque fortified church dedicated to Saint Pancras (Saint Pancrace in French). It had to be partly rebuilt after the older church, erected around 960, was severely damaged during the Hundred Years War —hence the fortification.
