Beautiful how the church stands proudly on the hill...

Beautiful farms and village houses, streets covered with old cobblestones and an old cemetery surrounding the building with an impressive view over the countryside - it is a little bit of Burgundy that you feel around this charming church, entirely in white Gobertange stone and situated at the top of this beautiful village, on the hill.

The whitewashed walls give the church a sober, contemplative atmosphere.

Some of the sights in and around the church (see photos):

The Virgin and Child
Unsigned painting on wood, dated between 1591 and 1600. The work is also known as "The Holy Family with John the Baptist and the Archangel Gabriel".

Statue of Saint Remi of Reims
A polychrome, dressed statue of the bishop Saint Remi of Reims, dating from the 19th century, placed on the side altar on the north side. The statue is 120 cm high (the robes were traditionally made by seamstresses from the village).

Baptism of Clovis
Unsigned oil painting of the baptism of Clovis by Bishop Remi of Reims. It is dated between 1701 and 1800 and was made on behalf of Father Larmormainy.

Stations of the Cross
Ceramicist Gabriel Taeymans is the creator of several Stations of the Cross. In 1994, he was commissioned to make a Stations of the Cross. He created the stations in an original style, with natural postures, because he believed that those who were present with Christ during his passion must have shown him gestures of tenderness.

Baptismal font
Baptismal font commissioned by Father Jean Delwaide in 1687. He died the same year and it was his replacement, Charles Léonard, who baptized the newborns in the parish. The stonemason kept the old base, which unfortunately we cannot date.

Tombstone in blue stone
Tombstone in blue stone with the coat of arms of “de Fonteny et de Raul” (16th century) depicting a reclining couple: Raes de Fonteny and his wife Jeanne de Raul. The man is depicted bareheaded, with some parts of his chain mail still visible; the woman wears a headdress, her clothes falling in rich folds on her feet.

Beautiful farms between the village houses, streets in ancient cobblestones, an abandoned cemetery around the sanctuary, an overwhelming view of the countryside... It seems like a touch of Burgundy that one senses here around this charming church in white stone from Gobertange, at the top of this attractive village on the flanks of the slope.

Inside the choir you will find a painting depicting the baptism of Clovis by Saint Remegius. The whitewashed walls give the church an atmosphere of austerity and contemplation. View the work of Gabriel Taeymans on the wall: about ten ceramics representing the Passion of Christ.
