LIGHT COLLEGE
Who says collegiate, says chapter and thus canonical. This medieval building with three naves, built in the th century, is a witness to the first Romanesque art. Its deep bedside and two guided chapels testify to Germanic influence, as is its facade of a great sobriété-type sobriété (Western massif). In 1222, the parish church became collegiate thanks to the Abbess Mercy of Neumünster (Saarland). It then installs a chapter of seven canons, and brings some architectural modifications to the building: expansion of the chorus and bays, the size of the pillars, the addition of a chapel and a chore. Among the few scenery, savour bands can be observed on an exterior tower and plume capitals inside. The Recumbent family of Salm (late th century) and the chair to preach classical oak wood in the th century. At the beginning of the nave, a statue of the archangel Saint Michel terrace the dragon (allegory du Mal) with its sharp lance. Since then, and until the French Revolution, the collegiate chapter of Marsal was linked to that of Vic-Sur-Fit, prior to the classification of the College for Historical monuments in 1874. During the German annexation, the architect Paul Tornow (author of the grand portal of the Cathedral of Metz) greatly restored the building. The Collégiale college is a fine example of the Romanesque religious architecture in eastern France.
