Eglise Saint-Rémi d'Issancourt & Rumel
Closed to the public
In 1785, the municipal council issued a decree for the construction of a church. Estimates were drawn up in 1788 and a reserve of wood worth 6000 pounds was sold. By deed of 4 October 1789, Anne Gédéon d´Ivory, lord of Rumel-Issancourt, ceded land to the commune to build a church in exchange for which the parishioners would reserve a twelve-foot bench for her in the choir. Work began at the end of 1789 based on plans by a Florentine architect named Gilberto and Jean Genin was the contractor. The inauguration took place on 15 October 1789. Iron tie rods were installed in 1823 and two buttresses were established in 1843 by Jean-Baptiste Moreau de Gernelle, based on the project by the architect Marion.
The church of Saint-Remi, located on the southern outskirts of the village, has an elongated plan with a single-aisle nave followed by a choir composed of a straight bay and a three-sided apse, backed by the sacristy. The timber-framed bell tower is located at the ridge of the nave, above the western portal decorated with Tuscan pilasters and a niche. The building is constructed of limestone rubble from Romery, with stone chains from Dom-le-Mesnil. The interior walls are rendered and the floor of the nave is paved with slate, while the choir is decorated with a checkerboard of red marble and slate. The structure, on a single level, is pierced with large semi-circular bays, surmounted by a false pointed barrel vault. The roof is entirely made of slate: nave and choir under a long-span roof, apse under a polygonal hip, sacristy under a lean-to roof, and bell tower with an imperial roof topped with a polygonal spire.
