Saint-Germain d'Auxerre Church

Highlight • Religious Site

On the site of a former priory, the church of St Germain d'Auxerre of Romanesque origin is erected on a mound planted with chestnut trees on the site of the old cemetery.

In the choir, we can see a beam of glory with Saint John and Saint Mary Magdalene.

The south chapel contains an altar, a tabernacle and an 18th century altarpiece as well as a painting of Saint Barbara.

You can also admire a 16th century Virgin and Child and bird (gift from the Jouvin family) and the 18th century baptismal font is framed by two paintings. A Damien organ from 1859, with original 13-note pedal board, still plays. A large textile fresco was embroidered by the Benedictine sisters.

Bridge over the Commeauche 🌉✨

Highlight • Other

The Commeauche is a river in the Orne which has its source in Bubertré (north of Mortagne), and crosses the Perche Regional Natural Park. After a total of about 29 kilometers, this small stream flows into the Huisne at the limit of Boissy-Maugis and Maison-Maugis as a left tributary.
And when you're bike-packing, how happy are you to find a bridge! 😅

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.

Saint Martin Church

Highlight • Other

Near the old castle of the barons of Longny, whose ditches occupied part of the large square, the church was built at the end of the 15th century. A large tiled roof covers the nave, whose wooden vault was redone in the 19th century. in bricks and plaster, and the vaulted stone aisle with ribbed arches.
As in Armentières (see 1st page of this booklet), this church is under the patronage of Saint Martin, Bishop of Tours. From the top of the niche at the top of the large painted stone altarpiece from the 17th century, its older statue wearing the cope, the miter and the crosier addresses us its blessing. More accessible, on the right wall near the entrance, a pretty Virgin and Child, crowned and holding a scepter, with a mantle lined with ermine, discreetly reigns over this place.
The construction of the organ gallery in the 19th century. resulted in the removal of a large flamboyant style window above the porch. Lovers of religious music won't complain. Fortunately, the high bell tower has retained most of its exterior decor, remarkable for a set of statues from the first half of the 16th century, symbols of the virtues of Prudence, Temperance, Faith, Hope. Framed in the upper pediment, we see that of Saint Martin as a horseman, sharing his cloak with a poor man.
With the time of the Revolution, which transformed the church into a “Temple of the Supreme Being”, then into a saltpeter workshop, its restoration was an opportunity to buy back, at the expense of the parish factory and the brotherhood. of charity, the two secondary altars from the 18th century. placed on both sides of the choir.
They came from the old charterhouse of ValDieu, as well as the two paintings, Saint Bruno and the Adoration of the Shepherds, from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Also note, in the choir of the church, the statues of the four evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
To those who have not paid attention to it, let us leave it to them to discover the painting of Saint Anne with the Virgin. His presence today recalls the important role of Longny in the large parish of Sainte-Anne-du-Perche.

The church is open every day from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
