Today we feature thhe church of Notre-Dame de Nanteuil,one
of three churches in the town of Montrichard in Loir-et-Cher. The church is a mix of styles with alterations over many centuries.
The original church is of a fairly normal design with a single nave, transept and apse but a later extension on an upper level reveals a more interesting prospect.
The ornately decorated chapel has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries for Catholics coming to pray in front of the statue of the Virgin Mary. They had come here to Montrichard to take the waters of a miraculous fountain said to blessed by Saint Martin de Tours.
