Eglise Saint Rémi de Noyers Pont Maugis
Opening on request from the town hall
The parish church, formerly part of the diocese of Reims, traces its origins back to an earlier building destroyed by the Normans and subsequently rebuilt between 882 and 900 by Archbishop Fulk. The oldest remaining sections, notably the bell tower-porch and the central nave, date from the 12th century, with the first two levels of the bell tower constructed at the beginning of the century, while the third level and the nave date from the second half. The nave vaults, however, appear to have been added in the 13th century.
Between 1859 and 1860, the church underwent major works under the direction of the architect Claude-Modeste de Bigault de Granrut: reconstruction of the side aisles, the transept and the choir, and addition of the sacristy. In 1887, a new belfry was installed, followed by the renovation of the framework and the roof of the bell tower between 1889 and 1893. In 2021, the floor was redone.
The church, raised and surrounded by a chalk and millstone wall, includes a four-level bell tower-porch, a nave with three bays and three vessels, a transept, a choir with a five-sided apse, and several chapels, including those of the font and lateral ones. The whole is vaulted with ribs, built in cut stone (chalk and Savonnières stone), with slate roofs, except for the sacristy in zinc.
