    Built from the 11th century around a castle, at the crossroads of two major thoroughfares, Longny-au-Perche owed its prosperity to the iron industry and trade. The city keeps the memory and presents a typical Percheron homogeneous building, of quality, crossed by three rivers and dominated by the spiers of its church and its chapel, jewel of the Renaissance.
    The Notre-Dame-de-Pitié chapel is one of the most beautiful Renaissance chapels in Perche. Built at the top of an impressive flight of steps on the way out of the town, on the road which connects Longny to Mortagne, it is a high place of pilgrimage for the whole of Perche and visited by many English people.
    There is a good climb there to go towards Mortagne and from the neighboring cemetery a view of the whole town of Longny.

      High place of pilgrimage in the Perche, people came to venerate "the Pietà" on September 8 of each year. It was in the 16th century, in favor of the brotherhood of charity, that this chapel was built in the post-Hundred Years War context.
