Church of Saint-Géry de Thieu

This traditional classical building , dated 1792 by a chronogram above the portal, was built in brick and limestone by the monks of St-Denis and Broqueroie.

The square tower on the front facade is followed by a three-bay nave with aisles under the same frame; the choir consists of a straight bay between outbuildings and a three-sided chevet in a semicircular volume. Partly destroyed cemetery.

Inside, general use of vaulted ceilings, also on the ground floor of the tower. Tuscan columns with monolithic shafts on octagonal bases, plastered pilasters on the aisles. Under the lintels of the nave, plastered consoles reminiscent of the beautiful plastered pilasters in the choir, decorated with piastres, scrolls, ribbons, laurels and acorns. Medallions with images of the twelve apostles. On the floor, large dark limestone slabs
in the nave, with animated white tiles in the choir.
