Church of Saint-Christophe

Originally, Notre-Dame de Créteil Cathedral was built by the architect Charles-Gustave Stoskopf and inaugurated in 1976. But the building, too small and too buried in the urban fabric, required an architectural overhaul. Thus, on 20 September 2015, the new, larger and more visible building, created by the Architecture-Studio agency and replacing the old one destroyed in 2013, was inaugurated. The plan was designed as a continuation of the old Stoskopf building.

The beautiful and emblematic church of St. Nicholas, built in the 12th and 13th centuries, was listed as a historical monument in 1928 and classified as a historical monument in 1947. For centuries, it has housed "Our Lady of Miracles", a polychrome wooden statue "achéiropoïète" (i.e.: not made by human hand, and therefore miraculous), itself classified as a historical monument, whose presence in these places is attested since 1328. This statue is today the object of a pilgrimage at the beginning of December. The nave, the oldest part, is Romanesque, while the choir is in Gothic style. The whole is very harmonious, installed on the high point of the Old Saint-Maur. Place of celebrations, the church also hosts musical events thanks to its organ with its velvety sound of the 19th century, recently raised. It is the subject of guided presentations and receives many visitors all year round.

Built from the 12th century on a rocky promontory overlooking the confluence of the Seine and the Marne, the church of Saint-Rémi bears witness to the history of the town. Today located in the town centre of Maisons-Alfort, opposite the town hall, the church is composed of two parts. The three bays of the choir and the bell tower are from medieval times (12th-16th century). In medieval times, the church extended eastwards. For unknown reasons, the eastern bays were destroyed and the double arch was closed at the back of the choir. The western part (nave, north aisle and sacristy) dates from the 19th century and was built in neo-gothic style with a classical façade.
