The Romansque church renewed

The Église Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur d'Asquins, a medieval church in Asquins, France, underwent significant transformations in the past. Founded in the 12th century, it was one of the four main routes of the Camino de Santiago, known as the 'Vézelay Way', that started from the church in the Middle Ages. Over the centuries, the church underwent various renovations, but the ones in the 18th and 19th century were impactful. The interior was refurbished in 1740 and repainted and restored in 1830.

The old roof was not replaced, but the clocher, which was moved for reasons of symmetry, was built, or rather, moved, in 1755. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the church's stained-glass windows were also restored, and a new altar was constructed. The church's exterior was repaired as well. These renovations aimed to restore the church to its former glory and to better serve the community of Asquins and the pilgrims who pass through on the Camino de Santiago.
