Eglise Saint-Etienne à BRIARE

Presentation

This is the place for good (and beautiful) works! Built at the end of the 19th century in a Romano-Byzantine style, this church was a gift to the town on behalf of the industrialist, Jean-Félix Bapterosses, owner of Emaux de Briare in 1851.

About the monument :

The obvious way to leave his mark, the patron of the arts had the building decorated with enamel! Firstly on the pediment where a mosaic bearing the head of Saint-Étienne shines brightly, and on the ground inside where encrusted medallions illustrate the stages of life, the four elements and the five senses. A must-see if you are passing through Briare.
