Eglise Notre Dame de la Moncelle

Closed to the public
The bell tower of the Notre-Dame church was built in 1832, as indicated by the date on a cut stone inside, above the oculus. The rest of the building was rebuilt in 1848 according to plans by the architect Auguste Reimbeau.
The Notre-Dame church is located in the centre of the village. It has an elongated plan. The single-aisle nave is preceded by the bell tower, the ground floor of which serves as an entrance vestibule. The choir is in the form of a semicircular apse with a polygonal volume. The sacristy is built against the north side, straddling the choir and the apse. The building is built of limestone rubble with a chain of limestone cut stone from Dom-le-Mesnil. The interior faces of the walls are rendered. The floor of the nave is concreted and that of the choir is covered with a checkerboard of veined black and red marble and limestone slabs under the benches. The building has only one level pierced with large semicircular bays and the bell tower has three, including an intermediate space on the upper floor and the bell chamber at the top. All of the interior volumes are ceilinged. The entire roof of the building is made of slate. The nave is covered by a long-span roof, the apse by a polygonal hip, the sacristy by a long-span and hip roof and the bell tower by a polygonal spire.
