Panorama of the inside of the church (360 degree view)
This 360 degree photograph was taken
inside the church of Oradour-sur-Glane, starting with the altar on the left of
view and then panning clockwise for a full revolution.
Starting on the extreme left is the altar, damaged in the fire on the 10th June
1944, it has been rebuilt (the cracks are very obvious close-up). The window
through which Mme Rouffanche escaped is the lower middle one. Next is the
small doorway which led to the presbytery, followed by the St. Anne's chapel and
then by the St. Joseph's chapel containing the W.W.I. memorial tablet which has
bullet holes in it. The partially melted bells can be seen lying on
the floor under the window and to their right is the main church entrance. The
wooden confessional box which was found to contain the remains of two small boys is next, followed by the Lady Chapel, the door to the
sacristy and then back to the altar. For a higher definition
