Church of Saint-Hubert, Oizy

The Notre-Dame de Bon Secours chapel was built in 1688. Its charm resides in the setting where it is located: high up in the Oizy village and surrounded by majestic centuries-old lime trees.

In neo-Romanesque style, the church is the second largest church in the city. Built in 1860, it is located a stone's throw from the Place Ducale and the Place Jacques-Felix, formerly the Place de l'Agriculture, built under the direction of the diocesan architect Jean François Racine, who died before its completion.

Begun in 1499, construction took 120 years, reusing the foundations and some elements of the original Romanesque church. It is a late late flamboyant Gothic style of a large unit, with five naves and no external buttresses. The narrowness of the central nave and the absence of capitals accentuates the impression of height (18 m). Observe the exceptional vaults with twenty-one cross keystones, with large, richly decorated pendentives. Great diversity of carved decorations in the tops of the Gothic windows. Renaissance style for the staircase of the tribune and the exterior of the large west portal. The neo-Gothic south portal (restored in 2009) and the spire were added in the 19th century. The sober and uncluttered interior was restored after the 1944 bombing.
