OUR LADY OF FLOWERS CHURCH

Churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels

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.
