This Gothic building is a good example of a hall church, characterized by a nave with three vessels of equal height
Not far from Saint-Nicolas-de-Port, in the direction of the Meurthe canal, the 15th and 16th century church of Saint-Gorgon is worth a visit. In Flamboyant Gothic style, the fortified building is a fine example of the hall churches, characterised by a nave with three vessels of equal height and bays separated by columns without capitals. The interior is richly ornamented, with vaults with carved palm leaves falling down. The magnificent stained glass windows are from the 16th century and the Piéta dates from the 15th century. Also to be seen, the descent to the tomb and a rare and moving Nursing Virgin. The coat of arms, engraved on the keystone, is that of Jean de Lorraine. According to legend, there was an underground passage that connected the former crypt of Saint-Gorgon to the basilica of Saint-Nicolas-de-Port. During the First World War, the church was damaged but restored from 1927 to 1932.
