Notre-Dame-de-la-Salette Church

How curious it is to discover such an original church in such a small town. Its tower transports us to the seaside with its neo-baroque style inspired by a lighthouse.

Notre-Dame-de-Pitié Chapel of Longny-au-Perche
Highlight • Religious Site
Built from the 11th century around a castle, at the crossroads of two major thoroughfares, Longny-au-Perche owed its prosperity to the iron industry and trade. The city keeps the memory and presents a typical Percheron homogeneous building, of quality, crossed by three rivers and dominated by the spiers of its church and its chapel, jewel of the Renaissance.
The Notre-Dame-de-Pitié chapel is one of the most beautiful Renaissance chapels in Perche. Built at the top of an impressive flight of steps on the way out of the town, on the road which connects Longny to Mortagne, it is a high place of pilgrimage for the whole of Perche and visited by many English people.
There is a good climb there to go towards Mortagne and from the neighboring cemetery a view of the whole town of Longny.

Saint Martin Church
Highlight • Other
Near the old castle of the barons of Longny, whose ditches occupied part of the large square, the church was built at the end of the 15th century. A large tiled roof covers the nave, whose wooden vault was redone in the 19th century. in bricks and plaster, and the vaulted stone aisle with ribbed arches.
As in Armentières (see 1st page of this booklet), this church is under the patronage of Saint Martin, Bishop of Tours. From the top of the niche at the top of the large painted stone altarpiece from the 17th century, its older statue wearing the cope, the miter and the crosier addresses us its blessing. More accessible, on the right wall near the entrance, a pretty Virgin and Child, crowned and holding a scepter, with a mantle lined with ermine, discreetly reigns over this place.
The construction of the organ gallery in the 19th century. resulted in the removal of a large flamboyant style window above the porch. Lovers of religious music won't complain. Fortunately, the high bell tower has retained most of its exterior decor, remarkable for a set of statues from the first half of the 16th century, symbols of the virtues of Prudence, Temperance, Faith, Hope. Framed in the upper pediment, we see that of Saint Martin as a horseman, sharing his cloak with a poor man.
With the time of the Revolution, which transformed the church into a “Temple of the Supreme Being”, then into a saltpeter workshop, its restoration was an opportunity to buy back, at the expense of the parish factory and the brotherhood. of charity, the two secondary altars from the 18th century. placed on both sides of the choir.
They came from the old charterhouse of ValDieu, as well as the two paintings, Saint Bruno and the Adoration of the Shepherds, from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Also note, in the choir of the church, the statues of the four evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
To those who have not paid attention to it, let us leave it to them to discover the painting of Saint Anne with the Virgin. His presence today recalls the important role of Longny in the large parish of Sainte-Anne-du-Perche.
The church is open every day from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Saint John the Baptist Church
Highlight • Religious Site
With a very simple plan, with its tiled nave and its small slate bell tower on the ridge, the church surrounded by its cemetery, set back from the road, overlooks the countryside planted with trees. The river is nearby, and its flowing water evokes that of the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan, as soon as we see the statue of the patron, Saint John the Baptist, in the choir. His arm raised towards the sky reminds us of his preaching in the desert of Palestine: "Prepare for the coming of the Messiah...". On the thin banner attached to his staff are written the words: "Ecce Agnus Dei", by which he already announced that he saw in Jesus the victim freely offering himself as a sacrifice for the Redemption of all men.
Placed on the ground against the wall, a 17th century painting. depicts Jesus immersed up to his knees in the waters of the river, leaning with his hands crossed on his chest to receive the baptism of penance from the hand of John kneeling on the bank.
We see “the Spirit descending on him like a dove” and we recall the words of John reported in the Gospel: “I am not worthy to bow down at his feet… I have baptized you in water; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.” Beside him, the angel wearing Jesus’ clothes turns his face towards a young child whom he guides with a hand placed on his shoulder, as if to teach him the profound meaning of baptism.
Above the arch through which the nave opens onto the choir, the group of Christ on the cross surrounded by Mary and Saint John the Evangelist is a fine example of 16th century religious sculpture, faithful to traditional iconography. Similarly, at the back of the nave is the charming naive statue of Saint Fiacre: this young monk from Ireland loved to cultivate the vegetable garden of his monastery, near Meaux. Patron saint of gardeners, he holds his spade, and in the Perche region he was also invoked to cure various illnesses.
More unique in style, the large Renaissance chest serving as a central altar was the former “work bench of the factory” reserved for the administrators of the parish’s resources and expenses. Let us admire the skill and imagination of the cabinetmaker who carved this series of full-length figures in oak under the arcades separated by “terms” inspired by Roman antiquity.
Their distinctive attributes make us recognize Saints Christine, Barbara, Madeleine and Catherine on the front, and on the sides Saints Peter and Paul on the right, John the Baptist and Bartholomew on the left. Their silhouettes are more reminiscent of fairy tale characters…

Catholic church - ND-de-l'Assomption in Marchainville ⛪✨🕊️
Highlight • Other
Notre Dame is the traditional French name for The Most Holy Mary of Nazareth, Ever Virgin, Mother of God since she is the mother of Jesus Christ.
The Assumption is the moment in her life, when instead of dying, she is taken body and soul into eternal life. The Orthodox believe the same as the Catholics but call it "the Dormition". In 1950, many works allowed a rapprochement between Eastern and Western Christians, and thus was defined what the Church has always believed from the beginning about the Assumption of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary. In the rush of post-war reconstruction, many parishes took this name for their local church.
