LA COLLÉGIALE SAINT-ERMEL
A collegiate church founded in 752, housing the relics of Saint Ermel with a series of funerary slabs and a Entombment.
The collegiate church of Vireux-Molhain owes its existence to Pepin the Short, who passed through here around 762. Founded in 752 by Lady Ada, widow of a Count of Poitiers and endowed with income by Charlemagne's father, it housed the relics of Saint Ermel, a Scottish monk, until 1563. A Romanesque crypt with blue stone columns, a set of polychrome wooden statues from the 16th century: the entombment, and a series of funerary slabs are the highlights of the visit.
