Dubes of the Collegiate Church of Saint-Ours – Royal City of Loches

The nave is covered by hollow octagonal stone pyramids, the dubes, seen here from below above the Romanesque arches, with the organ gallery at the west end and a painting on the wall. Raised around 1165, this roofing is unique in France and helped give the church what Viollet-le-Duc called its strange and wild beauty.
