Eglise Saint Leger, Seillans

Pretty church situated in the centre of the beautiful village of Seillans

The church of Saint Leger sits amongst the narrow cobbled medieval streets in the very pretty little town that is Seillans.

Built in the eleventh century, it was rebuilt in the late fifteenth century and was then restored in 2000. It became the real religious centre of the village at the XVII century.

The clock tower dates from as far back as 1561. Its facade is topped by two towers of unequal height, one is surmounted by a finely crafted campanile that houses the clock, the other turn serves as bell tower.

Inside there are paintings from the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, a triptych from the sixteenth century and two altarpieces from the seventeenth century.
