Church of Saint-Martin

The Church of Saint-Parres, registered with the Historical Monuments, is located in Praslin, in the Grand Est region (Champagne-Ardenne). The church was built in the sixteenth century to a Latin cross plan. It includes a nave that was rebuilt in 1770 by the inhabitants, a choir that was restored in 1786 and a bell tower built in 1882. There is a stained glass window, depicting Christ with links and various statues from the sixteenth century.

The St Phal Gothic church (16th century) was built according to the model of the hall churches, but the rectangular nave, which is extended by an apse, was ultimately only built to one span instead of the traditional four. Note the double transept that surrounds the choir and the two flamboyant gates: one Gothic and one Renaissance. In the nineteenth century, work was carried out under the direction of the architect Lorillard. This truncated hall-church is interesting for its architecture, its windows and its portals.

The church Sainte-Marie-Madeleine Celles-sur-Ource was dependent on the abbey Notre-Dame de Mores, its former Cistercian abbey neighbor. Built in the sixteenth century, it has a Gothic nave of three spans, extended by a flamboyant five-sided Gothic style choir. You can admire a statue of Mary Magdalene in polychrome limestone (seventeenth century), a high altar with altarpiece and tabernacle (seventeenth century), a painting by P. Cossard (eighteenth century) and windows of the sixteenth century.
