The most beautiful religious buildings Somme

This church, with the oldest parts dating back to the th century, is a flamboyant Gothic style. It has interesting furniture, including the baptismal Renaissance font. The windows are in a flamboyant style. The first stone (square shape) stone was posed by François Premier. It has been the subject of historical monuments classification since 1862.

Between the beach and the port, you will find a small church, in the neo-Gothic style. But it is worth entering to find a maritime atmosphere, with ex-votos in the shape of ships, suspended fishing nets and a presentation of local boats (with their names and descriptions). No doubt, you are in a port city and here we pray for the sailors. You can also discover a painting classified as a historical monument: "View of the Crotoy of the 15th century" as well as a grandstand organ.

Built in 1886, at the time when the seaside resort of Onival-les-Bains was created, this chapel is the last vestige of a sumptuous period for the town. A businessman, Louis Gros, had undertaken to make Onival one of the most popular resorts on the coast. Among other things, he had sumptuous villas built there, designed by the greatest Parisian architects. But the most beautiful of them were destroyed by all the successive storms. Access to the chapel is deserved: you can reach it by a staircase. The effort is worth it: the view is breathtaking over the city and the beach of Onival.

This large sandstone tower (th century) houses the tourist office.

It was in this chapel that the three hundred knights were buried, the disparition of which largely the forces of the French nobility. The shock occurs on the morning of Saturday, August 26, 1346. Because of their digital inferiority, King Edouard III and his son will not hesitate to up the traditional rules of combat. It is first the Genoese archers of the King of France who draw their tiles. But if you think of the chronicle, a thunderstorm occurs, which relaxes the strings of the crossbows and they lose much of their efficiency. It's the turn of the Japanese archers to shoot. They took care to protect their arches in bags during the storm. From their line, they spray French troops. The English king and his knights, back, let them shoot endlessly and don't care about bothering them. The French knights, for their part, witness the powerlessness of Genoese archers, up them to mount themselves in the assault despite the muddy ground. They show themselves in no way for their own soldiers, that they do not hesitate to fight and kill!

The church has a typical clocher. See also the contemporary altar.
