ÉGLISE SAINT BARTHÉLÉMY - COURCEMONT

The church, dedicated to St Barthélémy, has been extended over the centuries (11th, 12th, 15th, 16th and 19th centuries).

Formerly known as St Ouen, the church is now dedicated to St Barthélémy.
The oldest part of the building is the 11th-century nave.

The nave is extended by a 12th-century circular apse. The transept was added in the 16th century.
At the top of the building, the 16th-century bell tower is typical of local architecture. It was consolidated in 1847 because it moved every time the bell rang.
Above the portal is a fine decoration of mouldings and roses.

In 1867, neo-Romanesque windows were added to the church, and the wooden pillars and half-timbering were replaced with stone arches.

Inside, the church is well furnished, with numerous statues (St Anthony, St Louis, St Mark, etc.) and a funerary plaque with shrapnel from the Second World War.

Of particular note is a classified 16th-century stained-glass window depicting the Three Wise Men at the top and the Flight into Egypt below.

In 1902, Muller, a man from Mance, painted the interior (Latin mottos, saints, Virgin of Lourdes painted on the choir vault).
