The Saint-Sébastien church, although remodeled in the 15th century, is an important testimony of Romanesque art in Puisaye with its octagonal bell tower of Cluniac inspiration and its sculpted portal restored in 2002, the ocher-veined stone before weakened the sumptuous decorations.

When I arrived in Parly, I immediately noticed the church. The octagonal church tower, which looks a bit too short, impresses with the finest stone carving. The lavishly designed windows in the area of the bells are richly decorated. If you then walk around the otherwise rather small and squat church, the next surprise comes: a portal that you otherwise only see on cathedrals. Quadruple chiseled columns with portal arches.
