The most beautiful churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels Haute-Marne

The architecture of the th century of this magnificent church is massive and ouvragée. Inspired by a Renaissance portal added to the south side of the building, it also contains important furnishings and treasures. It was about 1560 that was commissioned by Antoinette de Bourbon the authentic and magnificent "Mise". Amazing are the figures that make it up: the faces are very expressive and the movements are perfectly made thanks to the thin lines that cut the characters and the precision of the folds of their clothes. A wonder! Notre-Dame Church also contains a key piece: the famous relic of the "Saint Joseph Belt", made up of hemp and a faded ivory latch, which was reported from Holy Earth in 1552 by Jean de Modèle. What to say about the organ created by Louis Le Bé in his original place… Finally, it is the construction of the current tower tower at the beginning of the th century which allows, because of its height, to be visible from a distance in the valley.

To the left of Diderot Street, descending from north to south, an imposing building (twelfth century), with its five vaulted nefs. The present church is the result of several constructions of xiiie in the eighteenth. A fire in 1725 gave the langrois architect Claude Forgeot the opportunity to treat this pretty facade. Original, the bell tower, which is a bonded and graceful bell, does not seem to obey this symmetrical law that Forgeot had. It is developed on four levels, the Campanile is very open. This abundance of decoration details contrasts with the sobriety of the building, but adds a delicious Italian character.
