ST. PETER'S CHURCH
Church endowed with remarkable elements: stalls of the XVIth century, paintings of the XVIIIth century and the organ of Claude-Ignace Callinet
This former collegiate church of Romanesque architecture was built in 1184 in a style close to the Cistercian, a period of transition between the Romanesque and Gothic eras. It replaced the chapel and houses the tomb of Saint-Euchaire. Legend has it that in 362 he walked, with his head in his hands (!), to Liverdun, where he wished to be buried. Remarkable features include some epitaphs, 16th century stalls, 18th century paintings and the organ by Claude-Ignace Callinet, dating from 1847 and comprising 23 stops. This organ is listed as a Historical Monument and was restored in 1999. The 6 altar candlesticks are a re-silvered copper dinanderie with redecorated medallions.
