Eglise Saint Sulpice de Prix les Mézières
Closed to the public
The priory, founded in 1068 by Count Arnould de Chiny and dependent on the Abbey of Saint-Hubert, had a chapel dedicated to Saint-Sulpice, demolished in 1805. A parish church was rebuilt in 1806 by Berthe on this site. Its choir, vaulted in neo-Gothic style, probably dates from the 19th century.
The church of Saint-Sulpice, located in the centre of the village, follows an elongated plan: a single-aisled nave precedes a choir composed of a straight bay and a three-sided apse with a flat chevet. The framed bell tower, at the west ridge, is built of cut stone, while the rest of the building is made of rubble. Inside, the walls are rendered, the floor covered with polychrome cement tiles, and the semicircular bays light the single level. The nave has a panelled ceiling and the choir is vaulted with ribs. Slate roofs cover the whole, with long-span roofs for the nave and the choir, a hipped roof for the sacristy, and a square spire for the bell tower.
