Romanesque church from the end of the 11th to the beginning of the 12th century, with a bell tower-porch, a unique nave and a crypt with wall paintings from the 13th century.

Adjacent to the castle and dominating the charming village of Morthemer, the church of Notre-Dame was built at the end of the 11th and the beginning of the 12th century. It then became a collegiate church. This Romanesque building was modified in the Gothic period. Admire the bell tower-porch when you enter. It is a single nave church with five bays. The crypt has Gothic-style wall paintings dating from the 13th century. It was intended to receive the lordly tombs.

Le village de La Chapelle-Morthemer épouse le flanc de la colline sur laquelle se dresse le château (dont il ne subsiste que le donjon – ne se visite pas) et l’église qui lui est accolée.
La construction de l’église commence par la crypte et l’abside au 11e siècle (style roman) et se poursuit dans une deuxième campagne au 13e siècle avec le transept, le clocher et les voûtes de la nef gothique. Ne manquez pas d’admirer les fresques de la crypte! L’édifice est fortifié au 14e siècle.
À l’extérieur, observez les modillons du chevet. Amusants!
Enfin, si vous entrez l’église comme destination dans votre GPS, ne suivez pas les instructions à la lettre et stationnez au bas du village, près de la rivière. En montant à pied les rues suggérées par le GPS, vous verrez pourquoi ce conseil est sage en voyant comment la rue devient un sentier ... (à moins qu’il y ait un autre accès par une autre rue que notre GPS n’a pas suggéré).
