Tips from the Community
The church of Serazereux, of Romanesque origin, has a remarkable architecture with a single-nave nave, oriented towards the east and ending in a semi-circular apse, a square bell tower surmounted by an octagonal spire crowned with a cross and a rooster. Built between the 11th and 12th centuries, it has been dedicated to Saint Denis since 1028. In the middle of the 20th century, several events marked the building. First, a stele erected right next to the monument pays homage to the eight English airmen who died in 1944 while flying over the village. Then, in 1948, lightning struck the bell tower and caused a fire. The latter was replaced and rebuilt towards the front of the building.

Saint Mary Magdalene was the first to encounter the risen Christ, and she was the first to bear witness to him before the Apostles. A woman disciple of Jesus Christ. There were no half measures for Mary Magdalene, sister of Martha and Lazarus of Bethany. Her taste for luxury and the world, her unbridled libertinism, and her defiance of convention made her despised by good people. Radically transformed by Christ, her gratitude was inexhaustible: she had found the One her heart loved, and she would follow Him wherever He went. It was she who threw herself at the feet of her Lord and perfumed them with perfume before the stunned Pharisees. The first to thus foresee the Passion and death of Jesus, she would be the first to announce His Resurrection to the doubting apostles. Fiery-tempered, she lived her last thirty years alone in a cave, secluded in contemplation of Love. This church consists of a rectangular nave and a side bell tower with a slate spire, which was raised by a floor in the 19th century. It comprises a four-bay nave with two aisles extending into side chapels. The pentagonal choir has a cul-de-four vault supported by early Gothic ribs. It is lit by two Romanesque bays.
