A must-see

Today the sign was unfortunately painted over in white 🥲

The Notre-Dame church was built from 1170 and the building retains an inscription dated April 26, 1170. The bell tower dates from the 12th century and the choir dates from the 13th century. The church was restored at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The building is listed as a historical monument by decree of July 19, 1926. Structural disorders made work necessary in the 2010s, approved by the municipal council of the commune in 2018 and a local heritage preservation association founded in May of the same year.

North-facing church with a Latin cross plan, composed of a nave accompanied by side aisles divided into nine bays and ending with a polygonal chevet with three cut sides. The entrance to the building is through a bell tower-porch.

Church with an elongated plan. A nave preceded by a bell tower with a polygonal spire surmounting the gable of the main façade, finished with a flat chevet and topped with a long-span slate roof. The elevations are in brick, rendering and stone, with each bay materialized by a semicircular bay and buttresses.

Nicholas was bishop of Myra (Asia Minor) in the first half of the 4th century. In the 6th century, a church in his name housed his tomb. But, in 1087, sailors from Bari seized his relics and took them to their city, which became the center of his cult. At the same time, the knight Aubert, from Port, near Nancy, brought back a relic of the saint from a trip to Bari. In this locality, which later took the name of Saint-Nicolas-de-Port, several churches were built successively until the beautiful current basilica where many pilgrims would come, following the example of Jeanne-la-Lorraine. When American Protestants, jealous of Catholic festivities, wanted to copy the Christmas celebrations where Saint Nicholas distributed gifts to children, they created the fictional character of Saint Claude ("Santa Claus").

At a recent city council meeting, the city decided to rename this park Michel Lejeune after the former mayor of Forges who died two years ago. Michel Lejeune particularly liked this place, which was long called Mondory, after a 17th century theater actor.

The war memorial of François POMPON, the famous animal sculptor (born in Saulieu 1855-1933) represents a Latin cross and a Gallic rooster with open wings, elements sculpted from the same Burgundy stone. It is this monument that will save him from poverty and that will allow him in 1922 to create his polar bear and to be able to live from his sculpture. He had come to Cuy-Saint-Fiacre because he worked as a practitioner for René de Saint-Marceaux, after having been that of Rodin, of Camille Claudel. The monument is classified as a historical monument in 2022 and labeled as a rural heritage of departmental interest.
