Eglise Saint-Loup de Troyes

The church of Buxeuil, dedicated to Saint Loup de Troyes, is a rather composite building, where one can detect several campaigns of staged works from the 13th to the 14th century. It is built in small limestone rubble, on a plane quite common in the region: in Latin cross, with a nave - very redone - of three bays, a double transept with gables of two bays vaulted on cross of warheads, and finally a span of choir, also vaulted with ogives, to the west of which grafted the sacristy. The Romanesque bell-tower, with its twin bays and its modillion cornice, which rises on the second span of the crossing, may be the oldest part of the building. The choir can be dated from the 13th century. , as well as the second span of the cross and the south arm of the transept. Traces of mural painting, very illegible, still remain there. The rest of the building was rebuilt in the 16th century, as were the vaults of the preserved parts. Finally, the nineteenth century. has considerably overhauled the nave, restored all the masonry, conferring a certain drought on the architecture, and finally built the sacristy. To recover the masonry of the upper parts of the bell tower and the cover of the oldest parts, the French Art Safeguard granted 40 000 Fen 1989.
