The most beautiful religious buildings Jersey

Built in 1840, Saint Matthew's Church houses some superb glass art. It was renovated in 1934, with the collaboration of the French artist René Lalique (1860-1945) for the interior decoration. The Art Nouveau style is dominant: the altarpiece, the choir screen, the altar, the crucifix, the baptismal font, the stained glass windows, the chandeliers... The translucent columns contrast with the blue carpet and white walls. The beautiful front door is adorned with crystal women. In short, Glass Church is a marvel!

This beautiful little church marks the centre of the village. Here, the whole village seems to be caught in the giron of the church, so it is no coincidence that the life of the church is entirely centered around parish activities. 

This is a charming little chapel adjoining the church of Saint-Brélade and built around the 12th century. Inside, one can observe wall frescoes from the 14th and 15th centuries, partly covered at the time of the Reformation. The chapel is built of large pebbles bound with a mortar of crushed shells and mixed with sea water. The stone roof was raised in the 14th century. To this day, it is not known if the name of the chapel (Fisherman) refers to Jersey fishermen or if the term was used to refer to fishermen.

The parish church of Grouville is absolutely charming and is one of the oldest on the island of Jersey. The first church in Grouville dates back to 1035, but local historians believe it to be even older. One of the most remarkable features of the church is the double-vessel baptismal font. A church to be seen if one walks in the village of Grouville. There is also a peaceful little cemetery adjacent to the church.

The church of St. Clement, the smallest parish in the island of Jersey, is located along the A5 road and was already in existence in the early 17th century. Still standing, it has since undergone extensive restoration work in the 19th century. These works have brought to light beautiful medieval murals, including one depicting the archangel St. Michael slaying a dragon. This is the main interest of this church which doesn't necessarily look like it from the outside. Don't hesitate to enter!

The church and adjacent cemetery dominate the beach. Founded in the ^11th century, during the Norman period, the church has expanded over the years. This is the reason for its somewhat motley architecture, which makes it all the more charming. The interior features a pre-Reformation baptismal font. The nave and choir date from the Romanesque period. The altar stone dates from the ^13th century. The cemetery is considered one of the most beautiful marine cemeteries in the world. It is magnificently embellished by immense oak trees. It's an enchanting place.

This small granite church with its rural Norman appearance was founded around the ^11th century. Over the ages, this place of worship has also served as an arsenal and warehouse. As parishioners grew and architectural styles changed, the church was repeatedly enlarged. In the ^14th century, the roof was raised and flamboyant Gothic stained-glass windows were installed. Originally a Catholic church, it was transformed into a Protestant temple after the Reformation. Inside, numerous commemorative plaques cover the walls.
