The Church of St. Aybert in Bléharies, a sub-municipality of Brunehaut, is a remarkable example of Art Deco architecture. After a fire in 1918, the church was rebuilt by architect Henry Lacoste. The new church, completed in 1926, has a unique triangular façade and a tall octagonal bell tower that stands apart from the main building, reminiscent of a minaret. Inside the church, you will find colorful ceramics with palm trees adorning the main façade, and an authentic sarcophagus of Saint Aybert (1060-1140), a hermit associated with the Benedictine abbey of Crespin. The church is a rare example of Art Deco in religious buildings and offers a fascinating mix of historical and artistic elements.
