The Saint-Pierre Church of Bar-sur-Aube is a historic monument which deserves special attention. Dating from the 12th century, it has remarkable architecture with its harmonious apse and its halloy, a 14th century wooden portico which gives it a unique exterior originality.

Inside, the nave offers a beautiful perspective, allowing you to admire the capitals of very Cistercian simplicity and the vault. The church also houses a Romanesque Sedes Sapientiae from the 12th century and sculptures from the 16th century, including a particularly beautiful Virgin and Child with a Bouquet. The Bouchardon altarpiece dating from 1736 and the magnificent Baroque organ case from the 18th century are also notable elements of this heritage.

Visitors appreciate the calm and light of the nave, which reveals traces of past polychromy. The exhibition of 16th century statuary and the organ case in three bodies from three distinct periods add to the historical and artistic richness of Saint-Pierre Church.

In short, the Saint-Pierre Church is a jewel of Bar-sur-Aube which offers visitors a journey through time and sacred art. It is a living testimony to the history and culture of the region, and its visit is highly recommended for those interested in religious architecture and art history.
