ST. LAWRENCE CHURCH
Go there and contact
In flamboyant Gothic style, this is the largest church in the district. Construction was carried out in two stages, visible in pillar architecture; one from 1515 and the other from 1540 to 1546 for the choir and the abside. Ravaged by a fire in 1702, she was waiting almost a century for restoration work to be completed. Inside, masterpieces of the Trojan School of the Sixteenth Century including a Virgin of Pity, a Christ to the links, a Virgin to Grapes and Holy Marguerite. A remarkable Virgin to the child dates from the end of the thirteenth century. Do not miss the stone retable of 1556: 4.25 m height per 3.60 m wide. Awarded to François Gentil, pupil of Dominique le Florentin, he represents the scenes of the passion of Christ. The master altar dates back to 1559. The painting Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire was partially realized in 1835 by Charles Fichot, the famous lithographer. Behind the tabernacle of the altar Saint-Nicolas, sculpted in the sixteenth century, the retable of 1840 is signed Joseph-François Valtat.
