Notre-Dame-de-Pitié Chapel of Longny-au-Perche

Highlight • Religious Site

Built from the 11th century around a castle, at the crossroads of two major thoroughfares, Longny-au-Perche owed its prosperity to the iron industry and trade. The city keeps the memory and presents a typical Percheron homogeneous building, of quality, crossed by three rivers and dominated by the spiers of its church and its chapel, jewel of the Renaissance.
The Notre-Dame-de-Pitié chapel is one of the most beautiful Renaissance chapels in Perche. Built at the top of an impressive flight of steps on the way out of the town, on the road which connects Longny to Mortagne, it is a high place of pilgrimage for the whole of Perche and visited by many English people.
There is a good climb there to go towards Mortagne and from the neighboring cemetery a view of the whole town of Longny.

Chartreuse Notre-Dame du Val-Dieu

Highlight • Other

The construction of the monastery on this site began in 1170. Of course, like many other religious buildings, it was demolished during the revolution, unfortunately after being rebuilt shortly before. Of the building built after the revolution, only the pharmacy, the gatehouse and the chapel remain. Unfortunately it is now privately owned, but the lake and house, in a beautiful setting, are a must see.

Basilica of Our Lady of Montligeon

Highlight • Monument

Founded at the end of the 19th century by Father Buguet, the parish priest of the village, this site has become an essential place of prayer for the deceased. Throughout the year, the sanctuary welcomes thousands of pilgrims from all over the world. Over time, it has become a leading center for all questions concerning the afterlife and eschatology.
Built at the edge of the forest, the Basilica of Our Lady of Liberation of Montligeon, elevated to the status of a minor basilica in 1928, overlooks the surrounding plain with its two spires.

Saint-Germain Church of Le Mage

Highlight • Religious Site

Between Longny and Moutiers-au-Perche, the town of Mage extends along a central street lined on both sides with old houses. The village is completed by several hamlets and farms scattered throughout the countryside.
Quite eventful, its territory is divided into two very distinct parts: a mountainous and wooded part, and a cultivated part made up of various small fresh and fertile valleys, separated from each other by sandy hillsides whose nature is less suitable for cultivation. .
In the heart of the village, from the small square between the old presbytery and the church, the view extends between large trees towards the valley. You have to go down the slope below the church to admire the old Romanesque porch with arches, resting on columns whose capitals worn by time retain their interlacing decoration in places. It is the remains of a first church from the 12th century. The current building was rebuilt on the foundations, probably in the 15th century.
Inside, the eye is drawn to the altarpiece in a beautiful classic style, enhanced with colors and gilding. On the right side, matching Saint James, the statue of a bishop wearing the crosier and the miter, reminds us that The Magus is honored to have Saint Germain of Paris as his patron.
A side chapel was created in 1646 in which several lords of the neighboring castle of Feillet were buried.
The interior decoration is from the 18th century, notably thanks to the attentions of Claude-Adrien Helvétius, farmer general and lord of Voré and Feillet, but also poet and philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment.
