Saint-Jean Church of Bar-le-Duc

Highlight • Religious Site

The church of Saint-Jean, in Bar-le-Duc, is a building in the neo-Byzantine style with references to the neo-Romanesque style. It was built in two phases, between the 19th and 20th centuries.

From the mid-19th century, the parish of Notre-Dame had an “annex” in the Brasseries district. The idea of transforming it into a church came about in 1869. The following year, the project was entrusted to the architect Charles Demoget. The result, a neo-Gothic building, was controversial, and Demoget was removed from the task, leaving his place to Ernest Birglin, who designed a new building in the neo-Byzantine style. But it was only in 1875, after the creation of a fourth parish under the name of Saint-Jean, that the construction of the church began. The first phase of the work lasted until 1880, but only the apse, choir, and transept were erected. In 1933, the architect Royer opened the second phase of work, with the construction of the nave which lasted until 1939. However, the facade remained partially unfinished.

Cycle Path Along the Canal

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A good way to avoid the hellish traffic on the main road but beware of the very uneven, even non-existent surface in places. (July 2026)

There's nothing going on in the villages. Tractors are parked around, filling their huge water barrels from the village well—who knows how long that takes.
