POMPIERRE
PORTAL OF THE ST MARTIN’S CHURCH
Description
The St Martin’s Church in Pompierre was rebuilt in the 19th century, but the Romanesque portal dating from the first building in the 12th century has been preserved. It is the finest example of Romanesque sculpture in Lorraine. In a good state of preservation, it bears witness to the influence of Burgundian sculpture in the region at that time. The tympanum has the Adoration of the Magi in the centre and the Massacre of the Innocents in the upper part. The lintel depicts the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem.
