Neuchâtel에 있는 이 장엄한 교회는 "Saint-ETIENNE"의 수호 성인에게 헌정되었습니다. 그는 예루살렘 초기 교회의 첫 일곱 부제 중 한 명이며, "신약성서"의 성경 기록에 따르면 초기 기독교의 첫 번째 순교자(피의 증인)입니다. 교회는 12월 26일 두 번째 크리스마스 날에 그의 죽음을 기념합니다. 사도행전에 기록된 바와 같이: 스테파노가 "그는 성령으로 충만하여 하늘을 우러러보며 하나님의 영광과 하나님 우편에 서신 예수님을 보고" (7장 55절)라는 열린 하늘의 환상을 큰 소리로 말했을 때, 사람들은 너무 격분하여 그를 도시 밖으로 끌어내 돌로 쳤습니다.

Nice route, fairly flat and rolling with lovely quiet country roads on the way back

Of Romanesque origin, the church of Louvigny has undergone many transformations over time. Among other things, the altars and the altarpiece were donated in the 18th century by Mr. François Thébault, a wealthy donor born in Louvigny. A commemorative plaque was erected in his memory in the sacristy of the church after it was found at the end of the 19th century by Father Chartrain, then parish priest, on the roof of his presbytery, in place of a tile. It is likely that it was thus protected from the pillaging of the Revolution. The steeple dates from the 19th century. It replaced a campanile. It was also in the 19th century that the stained glass windows, the Stations of the Cross and the baptismal font were installed. Generally made of stone, these are very original, since decorated in the Napoleon III style, the period of their manufacture, they are made of cast iron and undoubtedly a fine example of the industrial production of this time. The portal, typically Romanesque, is preceded by two steps in which an eight-pointed star and a cross are drawn. This is perhaps a summary of the life of Christ, from the Star of the Nativity to the Crucifixion. Several elements classified as Historic Monuments have been restored over the last few years, thanks to subsidies from the State and the Department of Sarthe, as well as the generosity of subscribers to the Fondation du Patrimoine. Thus, the remarkable tabernacle of the high altar in gilded wood. Painted in faux marble in the 18th century, it is one of the largest tabernacles preserved in Sarthe. The painting located just above, also superbly restored, and attributed to François Mongendre (1644-1690), represents Saint Germain d’Auxerre meeting Saint Geneviève as a child.
