The most beautiful churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels Oise

According to tradition and according to a former document, King Saint Louis would be the founder of the church Notre-Dame de Chambly. Most of this Gothic building dates back to the th century; the choir, the nave, the facade, the small chapel of the Holy Virgin and the th century tower. The nave contains a beautifully sculpted Louis XIV chair. Four turning points, part of an immense polyptyque of antwerp or brabançonne origin, attract many visitors. These components represent St. Gregory's Mass, the Supper, the Judas de Judas, Ecce Homo, the Garden of Olive Trees, Pentecost and Resurrection.

Restoration work has now been completed on the massive square tower, 47 m tall, over a Renaissance style dome. The southern arrow has also been renovated, highlighting the flamboyant Gothic side of this part. It is this contrast between two styles that makes the charm of this rather unusual building that has recovered from its superb. The other characteristic is the trace of graffiti from German soldiers from the beginning of 1944, they are scattered in a few corners. Since its disaffection after the Revolution, the church has had unexpected vocations, becoming a fodder store, a chicory factory, a cavalry district, and then a covered market. The next episode was tragic. In 1974, a plane crashed a few kilometers from the city, in Ermenonville Forest. The church was then used as a burning chapel in tribute to the 346 people who lost their lives in this accident. Once this history has been tragic, the building has become a beautiful cultural place with pleasure for local event organizers.

This is the new place of exposure in Compiègne. It lies in the heart of the soothing walk of the Little, quietly reported from the rue du Dahomet, which leads to the imperial palace. The wall was built from white stones, some dating back to the Carolingian era. There is also the oldest church in Compiègne, dating from the th century: decommissioned for centuries, it underwent extensive restoration. The polychrome remains of the eardrum can be admired.

It was built in the 100 th century, less than m from the church of St. Martin. The proximity between the two buildings is a miracle, at least if one believes the legend: in 1532, during Christmas festivities, a canopy containing consecrated hosts was stolen. The thieves suffered the object of worship, but were did from the hosts in a bush. The inhabitants found them not covered by the snow and saw a miracle. Six months later, a stone chapel and brick were built. Inside, stained glass windows trace its construction.

Consecrated to Saint Lucien (Lucius), first bishop of Beauvais (Caesaromagus) in the year 1000 and martyr. The Church has been enlarged and transformed over the centuries. Inside the building, there is a very beautiful mise stone tomb dating from the th century, classified in historic monuments as well as other "remarkable curiosities" such as wall woodwork, the bench and the chair.

The church dates back to the 1515 th century, with a armure of François I, the sacred king of France in. Let us remember that he was part of the Valois-Angoulême branch of the Capétiens dynasty, which reigned from 1328 to 1589. There is also a sculpted wardrobe of Renaissance style, statues of Saint Bernard, statues of the Virgin. The, vaulted dome of the nave is a ship's free.

Villers-Saint-Paul, a commune of 6 000 inhabitants, existed at the time. The church with its "T" plan presents two distinct parts. It is evidence of two construction campaigns to monitor the evolution of religious architecture in an extremely fertile period of innovation: on the one hand, the nef and côtés of Romanesque style built around 1130 and the chevet and transept, Gothic style, built around 1225.

A testimony of flamboyant Gothic art, the church gradually built between the th and th centuries. By its size and richness (the statues are no longer in the niches, but the paintings still present are very beautiful), it recalls the historic importance of the village which received a title of the duchy and whose castle (which was demolished in 1734) served as a date of arrival to Henri IV (see the buried parts, behind the retaining walls on the terrace).

Like the vast majority of the villages in Oise, Rieux has a history of almost 1 000 years old. It was in 1061 that the first mention of the village was served in the cartulaire of the priory of Saint-Christophe-en-Halatte (now dependent on the commune of Fleurine). From the Middle Ages, an important vineyard stretched on the slopes dominating the valley of Oise. In the mid th century, the land of Rieux still represented eight hectares of vines. The heritage of the village: The church Saint-Denis, built between the beginning of the th century and the th century. It owes its pride to the romans and clocher novels, which testify to the size and quality of the building and its volumes. The church (like that of Rousseloy) has one of the very few ancient bells of the Oise, melted in 1550. On the street, the inas will appreciate the stone facades of the houses, in good condition, as well as the ancient porches.

Upstream of the autumn valley, the building is part of the th century Romanesque style in the vein of the th century Romanesque style. It is built on the straight straight of the choir and consists of two floors of géminées bays with capitals and skid, and ends with a stone arrow, marked as a needle. Shortly after the boom was completed in the 1130 s, the northern flank of the church received a vaulted chapel with a full hanger. In the middle of the th century a portal beautifully decorated in "diamond spikes" came to replace the somewhat austere facade before it. This formula was a resounding success in the th century. It will be in turn of the apse to cede the square to 1170 to a more elaborate choir, composed of a straight span and a apse in the chamber decorated with three windows.

The building, built in several campaigns in the th century, is based on the western slope of the St. Mary Valley. The church has a lovely Romanesque-style steeple with a span and dotted apse, both of which have marked the beginning of its construction. The nave, remarkable of elegance and sobriety, will be founded shortly afterwards. The large arcades, which occupy more than two thirds of the total height, are double jumps softened by an tore. The octagonal basket capitals allow the arcades to return to circular batteries. The facade has a striking look thanks to a majestic portal with gâble and a large pink rose located just above. The facade and its interior rise give the nave of Gothic features that once again refer to the influence of the th century. Another crucial step in the construction process will be to the choir; two chapels will be annexed to it to solidify the base of the bell. The latter, in conclusion, has two floors: the first is pierced to the north and south by glass windows, while the upper floor is that of the belfry filigree of géminées baies bays.

Again, Villembray was a place of pilgrimage. It is reported that, in 1566, Protestants who wanted to destroy the statue of the Virgin who were sitting in the doorway of the church were miraculously prevented. The following day, the merisiers around the church were all flowering. That is why we called the Notre-Dame-des-Fleurs building. A first chapel, probably from the ninth century and became church in the 1495 th century, was rebuilt in. In the xviiith century, the church was rebuilt and looted. All the interest of the monument, open during the day, lies in its stained glass windows, especially those of Roussel (1888) and its paintings depicting the mysteries of the Rosary. See also, the master altar in 1891, the side chapels of the Sacred Heart and Saint Joseph, the barrier of the Virgin (1702) and the chapel of the pilgrimage.
