The Church of Saint-Amand in Ere

The Saint-Amand church is an 11th-century masonry construction. From this time only the choir and the sacristy remain. The single nave and the western tower with Romanesque influence are much later since they are the result of the restoration and enlargement campaign of 1921 led by P. Clerbaux.
Behind the tower topped with an octagonal spire, extends the nave composed of four bays. The Romanesque choir ends with a flat chevet. On its southern exterior face, traces of a bricked-up door are preserved. This was surmounted by a curved arch alternating Gallo-Roman tiles and flat stones. The northern face retains the remains of two large curved arches with a central pillar and impost. One can see the traces of what may have been a lean-to (three projecting stones). The sacristy is built on a base made of pebbles. It is reinforced by two stone buttresses and is pierced by neo-Romanesque windows, a secondary door, and an oculus (on the gable). During the restoration campaign, the ears, the slopes, and the cornice were redone.
The interior is characterized by the triumphal arch opening the choir as well as by its paneled barrel vaults.
Classified as a monument on January 14, 1943 (choir and sacristy)
