St. Michael's Church

Description

Still in the neoclassical style, the Saint-Michel church was built between 1842 and 1844 on the Place du Château. It consists of three naves separated by two rows of columns. The chancel is surrounded by two sacristies and curves to form the apse (semi-circular projecting part). On the façade, a splendid quadrangular bell tower magnifies the building. Inside, the furniture dates from the same period and is therefore largely in the neoclassical style. The three altars are made of marbled and gilded wood. The tabernacle and the display throne are made of brass. They are decorated with angels as well as evangelists and their symbols. The splendid statues date mainly from the 19th century while the sumptuous stained glass windows were placed in the 20th century, after the Second World War.
