SAINT HIPPOLYTE CHURCH

The Church of Saint-Hippolyte in Brion is a small church built of large granite blocks. It features a two-story bell tower; the first story contains a window, and the second has two openings, each housing a bell. On the church walls, one can see a depiction of a miracle of Saint James, which occurred in Spain, recounting the conversion of Queen Luppa after the capture of wild bulls by two disciples of Saint James. Above the church's entrance portal, extending from the facade, are sculpted figures: a pilgrim, two faces (those of the disciples), and the head of a bull. A little further on, another bull, this one adorned with decorations, is also visible. Inside, a single bay leads to two side chapels and a rib-vaulted chancel. Both the interior and exterior facades feature corbels representing animal and human figures carved in granite.
