Antigny: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Culture and History
The Église Notre-Dame d’Antigny is a single-nave Romanesque church dating from the 12th century, with a three-part flat ambulatory dating from the 13th or 14th century. A 15th-century fresco cycle has been preserved in the northern side chapel. The wall paintings include the Annunciation, the Nativity, the Last Judgement, and the depiction of the three living and the three dead.
The Dépôt visitable d’Antigny presents discoveries from the Gallo-Roman archaeological site of Gué-de-Sciaux, including architectural sculptures from a 2nd-century AD Gallo-Roman temple and the remains of public baths at Gué-de-Sciaux. The Gallo-Roman vicus of Gué-de-Sciaux covered an area of 25 hectares; two sections on the left bank of the Gartempe occupy 2,000 square metres of this area.
Sightseeing
The Lanterne des Morts stands on the Place d’Antigny. It was classified as a historic monument in 1884. Admission is free; guided tours are only available by prior registration.
As part of La Vallée des fresques, guided tours of the Église d’Antigny and the chapel of Jouhet are offered. At La Vallée des fresques, the number of visitors is deliberately limited to protect the sensitive cultural heritage.
