CHURCH AND CLOISTER SAINT-MAUR
Go there and contact
Initiated in 1328, the narrow citadel forced the construction of the flamboyant Gothic Saint-Maur church in the fortress. Adossée to the north-south wall, it imposed its rectangular right-hung shape. His steeple had taken place inside one of the defensive towers of the medieval enclosure. The th century chapel in the old Benedictine monastery houses a th century polychome altarpiece. Carved in stone by Ligier Richier, he represents three stages of the Passion of Christ. The Grüber stained glass windows were realized after the Second World War. The adjacent cloister was built in the th century. He kept the cemetery in his walls until 1845. There is only a gallery of five spans, the breakthrough of tréflées bays. The Gothic vaults are the arms of Bishop Guillaume of Haroncourt. It is classified, like the church, Historical Monument since 1992.
