Romanesque church of Gueyze
Built near a Gallo-Roman site, the church of Gueyze preserves a superb collection of Romanesque capitals: lions devouring fruit, birds facing each other, Christ in a mandorla, the Chi-Rho symbol, plant and floral motifs, and Romanesque modillions from the 11th and 12th centuries. The nave is slightly later. The trefoil-shaped choir, in a semi-circular chevet, is wider than the nave. The church has a bell tower with two open bell bays. Listed as a Historic Monument in 1925, only the apse is protected.
