    Return to the starting point on the square and its 1926 church.

      Bléharies is located in the Brunehaut area. On the square is the stylish St. Aybert church in Art Nouveau from 1926 by architect Henry Lacoste: glazed statues in the facade and also beautiful on the inside.

        The Church of St. Aybert in Bléharies, a sub-municipality of Brunehaut, is a remarkable example of Art Deco architecture. After a fire in 1918, the church was rebuilt by architect Henry Lacoste. The new church, completed in 1926, has a unique triangular façade and a tall octagonal bell tower that stands apart from the main building, reminiscent of a minaret.

        Inside the church, you will find colorful ceramics with palm trees adorning the main façade, and an authentic sarcophagus of Saint Aybert (1060-1140), a hermit associated with the Benedictine abbey of Crespin. The church is a rare example of Art Deco in religious buildings and offers a fascinating mix of historical and artistic elements.
