Summary

[edit]
Description

Église Sainte-Geneviève.

L’église actuelle, de type néogothique, date de 1874-1875.

La décoration intérieure est représentative des vitraux et du mobilier réalisés à la fin du XIXème siècle.

En 1855 Monseigneur MORLOT, archevêque de TOURS bénissait les quatre cloches de l’Eglise Sainte Geneviève de Luynes, nouvellement reconstruite après la destruction par incendie du bâtiment datant du XVème siècle.

Ces quatre cloches avait la particularité de sonner en émettant un accord parfait.

Pourtant, depuis quelques décennies ces cloches ne sonnent plus et seul le tintement de l’une d’elles venait rappeler leur présence aux habitants de la commune.

Ces quatres cloches malades de l’oxydation ne peuvent plus être réparées.

Compte tenu du danger qu’elles représentaient en menaçant de tomber par rupture de leur anse bélière, elles ont du être immobilisées.

Il a donc été décidé de refondre les quatre cloches.

Saint Genevieve Church.

The present church of Gothic type, date from 1874 to 1875.

The interior is typical of windows and furniture made ​​in the late nineteenth century.

In 1855 Bishop MORLOT, Archbishop of Tours blessed the four bells of St. Genevieve Church of Luynes, newly rebuilt after the destruction by fire of the building dating from the fifteenth century.

These four bells had the distinction of sound emitting a perfect agreement.

However, in recent decades these bells no longer ring and only the ringing of one of them came to remind people of their presence in the town.

These four bells sick of oxidation can not be repaired.

Given the danger they represented by threatening to fall out of their bail handle, they had to be immobilized.

It was therefore decided to recast the four bells.
