High place in Romarimontan history, the Saint Pierre de Remiremont Abbey Church - built from the 11th century - is the result of the superposition of 2 Romanesque and Gothic churches which are classified as monuments historical records since 1983. The history of the abbey church is closely linked, until the Revolution, to that of the Chapter of Ladies Canonesses. This building, built mainly in the 13th century in its upper part, presents a contrast between the sobriety of the Gothic style nave and the richness of the choir in marble and plasterwork. The underground church, made up of three chapels, dates from the 11th century and presents wall paintings from the 14th and 15th centuries. Thanks to major renovation work from 1988 until the year 2000, the church is in an excellent state of conservation, exterior (roofs redone, facades renovated, etc.) and interior with original colors and simple and simple shapes. purified found. This former church of the Chapter of the Noble Ladies of Remiremont, which became a parish church during the French Revolution, constitutes the center of the canonical district made up of the houses of the canonesses and the abbey palace which today houses the town hall. Its renovation made it possible to highlight wall frescoes from the 14th and 15th centuries in the crypt, as well as original keystones representing magnificent painted suns dated 1495 in the upper part. Excavations have shown the existence, below the Romanesque level, of an earlier construction which would be the Carolingian chapel of the royal domain of Louis the Pious. The building houses many notable elements including one of the city's treasures: the “Statue Notre Dame du Trésor” whose originality is linked to a mixture of Byzantine and Romanesque art. It also houses a 15th century statue of Saint Nicholas carved from Meuse limestone, a copy of a painting by Velázquez “Christ Crucified” as well as a monumental altarpiece in black marble and white limestone which houses the relics. of the saints founder of the Saint-Mont… Built in Vosges sandstone, the Saint-Pierre church has a sober tower with a bulbous bell tower which gives it a characteristic silhouette and the north transept houses a Renaissance-style portal with quality decorations. https://www.tourisme.vosges.fr/decouvre/sites-monuments/885000541-leglise-abbatiale-saint-pierre-remiremont

The station boasts architecture from the end of the 19th century. In front of it is a locomotive from the early days of railway history. An impressive place.
