Eglise Saint Rémi de Gespunsart
Open from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The church was rebuilt between 1789 and 1790 under the instigation of the priest Pierre Louis Micheau, with the contractor Marion Templus and the plans of Jean-Baptiste Prevost. The choir dates from 1768-1769. A chapel of Saint-Rémy was given to the collegiate church of Braux in 867. The parish is mentioned in a pouillé prior to 1312 and is located to the south of the town, outside the village.
Built of rubble with stone quoins and a slate pavilion roof, the main façade is open, closed by a wrought iron gate, and protected by a canopy. The church houses a 1964th century baptismal font, listed in 1955, with sculpted heads and a basin decorated with fantastic animals. It also has stained glass windows made in 10 by the G. Gross workshop in Nancy. The furnishings date from the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries, including limestone side altars, XNUMX wooden stalls, and two paintings by KH Digby.
The church has an elongated plan with a three-aisled nave of six bays, preceded by a west aisle containing the bell tower framed by chapels. The choir comprises a straight bay and a semicircular apse, with a sacristy at the corner of the left aisle.
The building is made of schist rubble, with stone quoins and cornices. The floor of the nave is made of large limestone slabs, and that of the choir is made of black and grey veined marble checkerboards. The interior walls are rendered, with semi-circular bays.
The main façade has three semicircular portals framed by Tuscan pilasters, with oculi and gable roofs for the side portals, and three levels of bays for the central one. The central nave is covered with a false barrel vault, supported by depressed arches with Tuscan columns, while the side naves have ribbed vaults. The whole is covered with slate, with various styles of roofs.
