Attractions and Places To See around Saint-Bomer - Top 12

the Saint-André church dates from the 11th century; it was a priory then dependent on the abbey of St.-Calais, but the current building was completely rebuilt around the walls and framework of the old building. The project was carried out in 1877. The construction of a transept, enlarged windows and a stone bell tower completely modified the old monument. The environment has also changed a lot. All traces of the old cemetery, transferred outside the village at the beginning of the 18th century, have disappeared. The furniture includes a stone baptistery, a statue of the Virgin and Child, a confessional and a Louis XV period bench. The beautiful wooden tabernacle decorated with a statue of Saint Lubin comes from the church which was located a few kilometers away, in Saint-Lubin-des-Cinq-Fonts, and of which only the choir, which has become a chapel, remains today. .

The castle was built on the foundations of a medieval building in the 16th century. It belonged to Jean d'Youville, lord of Charbonnières, in 1557. The castle was enlarged in the 18th century and, in the 19th century, Count Auguste de Chamoy (Count of Chamois), inspired by troubadour architecture, gave it his style Neo-gothic. In 2012, the castle was put up for sale for nine million dollars but did not sell. In October 2017, the castle was sold at auction, without reserve, by Concierge Auctions. Expected for five million euros, it was sold to a foreign buyer for more than 1.2 million euros.

The first part of the church, a wide and short nave (slate roof) dates from the 11th century. It shows a device marked by the use of russet and monolithic arch bays characteristic of the beginning of the 11th century. During the Renaissance a new choir was built and the Romanesque bell tower was raised. The nave received new windows, the main portal was rebuilt and the elevation of the stone bell tower began on the left annex. The interior of the church was restored in the 1990s by the Cormes Heritage Committee.

The robust grison pillars of the church of Chapelle-Guillaume reveal its distant roots in the beautiful country of Perche-Gouët, and even if it is often difficult to fix with precision the date of construction of a church, at least It seems obvious to her that she has been watching over the small village that surrounds her for many centuries – probably not far from ten… It owes her name to Guillaume Gouët. In any case, the last two hundred years have given it many alterations and restorations. Thus the bell tower that a hurricane had brought down was rebuilt in 1827, while the capital which adorned the entrance disappeared a few decades later, serving as a narthex, or more simply as a “caquetoire”. Everything here announces the joy of welcome and the simple peace that a place of prayer requires. The interior is distinguished by the great care taken in maintaining the warm furnishings: painted vault, gallery, benches, paneling, statues and choir woodwork. The altarpiece is illustrated by a pretty painting of the Annunciation. A great harmony emerges from the whole and invites prayer. There was also not far from there near the church a Notre-Dame priory dependent on Marmoutier, where Saint Martin resided.
