Tips from the Community
The inhabitants of Margon can admire the church of Notre-Dame du Mont-Carmel, proudly dominating the old town on its rocky spur, at the corner of two green valleys. It was later given an aisle during the 16th century, but its Romanesque portal has been preserved. It reigns benevolently over the old cemetery which surrounds it and which has recently been enlarged due to the increase in the population of the commune.

Unfortunately, the church was not accessible when I visited (mid-September 2024). You could only look in through a gate and the dance of death depictions on the left side were not really visible. In front of them were transparencies with skeleton drawings. Maybe those were the depictions...

The church has a Latin cross plan. It has a single nave and a flat chevet. A small building is attached to the chevet. A bell tower flanks the building. Buttresses support the drip walls and the gable wall. Pointed arch bays with tracery illuminate the building. The portal, in a low arch, has its external arched voussure.

Parish church, as well as its polychrome stone choir enclosure, with the exception of the bell tower and the sacristy built in the 19th century. The church consists of a main nave whose choir ends with a semi-circular apse from the Romanesque period. The large mullioned windows were installed in the 15th century. The south aisle dates from the 16th century. In the second half of the 19th century, the church underwent major modifications: construction of the sacristy in 1860, brick vault in 1870, stone bell tower according to the designs of the architect Prempain around 1879.

Of course there is the castle but the rest of the village is really worth a stop (church, wash house, half-timbered house, etc.)
