Église Saint Luperce
Highlight • Other
Perhaps it was originally a bell gable, later augmented by a platform supported by these machicolations?
In front of the entrance, a small building called a "caquetoire" (a small meeting place) allows the faithful to gather and converse.
Inside the church, the furnishings date from the 18th and 19th centuries:
a marble high altar and its gray-painted wooden altarpiece (18th century) – a painted wooden altarpiece of St. Joseph (late 18th or early 19th century)
an altarpiece for the altar of the Virgin Mary (19th century)
a baptismal font in red-veined marble (19th century)
a waxed wooden pew (18th century)
a waxed wooden choir stall upholstered in velvet
paintings: the Assumption of the Virgin Mary by Octave Hauser (1839) and the Annunciation (18th century)
The stained-glass windows date from 1874.
The church and the eclipse
A bit of history:
The parish, established in the 13th century, was part of the deanery of Courville. The church's patron saint, Luperche or Luperchius, gave his name to the village. We must go back to the 4th century to find the first trace of this saint: At that time, Dacius, governor of the part of Spain that included Catalonia, Aragon, and the Kingdom of Valencia, was one of the most cruel ministers of persecution. Incited by the emperors Diocletian and Maximilian, he had eighteen confessors of Jesus Christ executed in the city of Zaragoza. In their honor, the poet Prudentius wrote hymns, and among these confessors, a certain martyr named Luperche became the patron saint of our church.
