Encoule (jargon of french companion builder). | ||
|---|---|---|
An “encoule” is an abutment, added after the fact, intended to reinforce the solidity of a wall, a pillar etc... Typically, they are found in romanesque architecture during extensions, or later, in poorly calculated craft works, in the form of inclined walls against the defective element. However, as they are not integrated to the construction, their effect remains limited. The case of Saint Saturnin is a perfect illustration of this: the façade, austere but of great stonework, retains a proud appearance, while a tour through the Passage des encoules (there were several of them...) shows that the curtain walls between the pillars are threatening ruin, again, while the remaining encoule is also falling apart... |  | |
