      Well-kept saint's house that appears unexpectedly. A nice place to stay.

        Crispinus and Crispinianus (* in Rome; † around 287 in Augusta Suessionum, today Soissons) were Christian martyrs. ...
        According to legend, the two sons of a wealthy, respected Roman family came to Augusta Suessionum (Gallia Belgica) to spread the Christian faith there. They worked as shoemakers, earning enough to support themselves while also donating to the poor. However, Emperor Diocletian's persecution of Christians was also implemented here, in the sphere of influence of his co-emperor Maximian. The two brothers were brought to Maximian, who tried to dissuade them from their faith with promises and threats, but was unsuccessful. Therefore he handed them over to the prefect Rictiovarus, who was known as a particularly cruel persecutor of Christians. He put awls under their fingernails, poured molten lead over them, thrown them into the fire and into ice-cold water. Since it was not possible to drown them weighed down with a millstone, they were beheaded.
