very beautiful place in the center of an equally pretty village

The church of Saint-Jean, in Bar-le-Duc, is a neo-Byzantine style building with references to the neo-Romanesque style. It was built in two phases, between the 19th and 20th centuries. Since the mid-19th century, the parish of Notre-Dame had an "annex" in the Brasseries district. The idea of transforming it into a church came in 1869. The following year the project was entrusted to the architect Charles Demoget. The result, a neo-Gothic building, was controversial and Demoget was removed from office, making way for Ernest Birglin who designed a new building in neo-Byzantine style. But it was only in 1875, after the creation of a fourth parish under the name of Saint-Jean, that construction of the church began. The first phase of the works lasted until 1880, but only the apse, the choir and the transept were erected. In 1933 the architect Royer opened the second phase of work, with the construction of the nave which lasted until 1939. The façade, however, remained partially unfinished.

Of the Trois-Fontaines abbey founded in 1118, today only ruins remain. The Friends of the Trois-Fontaines sites association is responsible for their restoration, even if the remains belong to a private owner. The abbey church is located in a pretty park which invites you to take a walk.

What a beautiful old town! Such pretty houses and charming corners. A walk is very worthwhile! But why is there so much empty here?!? Why doesn't anyone want to live here?

The Abbey of Trois-Fontaines is a former Cistercian monastery founded in 1118. It has the most fabulous ruins. Meer info on https://www.abbayedetroisfontaines.com/

Beautiful church in Bar-le-Duc

The picturesque ruins are located in a beautiful park. The whole complex is privately owned, but was freely accessible during our visit, which surprised us very much. We loved this amazing place.

The upper town of Bar le Duc is a beautiful ensemble of Renaissance buildings, most of which are in very good condition. A visit is highly recommended!
