20의 쿠르셀 앙 몽타뉴가지 명소 & 주요 장소

19세기 중반까지 북쪽 도시 경계를 표시하던 갈로-로만 양식의 아치 유적이 여전히 보였습니다. 3세기 말에 성벽에 통합되어 도시의 문이 된 이 건축물은 그 이름이 길기 때문이거나 도시를 내려다보는 콘솔에 그의 초상이 부착되어 있던 Longo라는 전설적인 왕 때문입니다. 1538년경, 정면 공격을 막기 위해 문 앞에 바르바칸이 세워졌습니다.

Imposing cathedral of a small town steeped in history! Worth seeing from the outside and inside

A very beautiful little path between a small moat and the stream. Everything looks very idyllic, like something out of a fairytale.

Beautiful old town with simple but impressive cathedral

The Longe-Porte still has its 17th century guardhouse intact. The barbican of the “Longe-Porte” gate, projecting from the ramparts, allowed for increased control of access to the town of Langres.

The Train à crémaillère in Langres was the first rack railway in France, connecting the Gare de Langres with the town of Langres, which is situated on a hill. The railway was 1.475 km long and had a maximum gradient of 172 ‰. The railway opened in 1887 with steam traction and was electrified in 1935. The railway was closed in 1971 due to obsolescence. One of the old electric trains has been restored and stands on the Promenade Jules Verne in Langres. The other has been taken to the Musée français du chemin de fer in Mulhouse. The railway was a major attraction for the residents and visitors of Langres, who could enjoy the views over the town and its surroundings.

Langres Cathedral is dedicated to the 3rd century martyr Mammes of Caesarea. The cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of Langres and is a national monument. The cathedral dates from the 12th century and has a mixture of Romanesque, Gothic and Classical styles. The roof is decorated with colourful tiles and the façade has many details. The cathedral has some remarkable tapestries that are worth seeing. The cathedral is also a place of pilgrimage, as it houses the holy relic of the head of Saint Mammes. The cathedral is 94m long and 23m high. The façade was destroyed by fire and replaced in the 18th century by a three-storey classical façade.

The Porte des Terreaux is a historic gate in Langres. It is one of the gateways to the fortified city, which is surrounded by a 3.5 km wall. The gate was built in the early 13th century to allow military convoys to bypass the city center. The gate had a double drawbridge and a barbican, a defense structure that was later demolished. The gate also has a mâchicoulis cornice (extension above the entrance), a medieval architectural element.
