Church of Saint-Rémy

The church of St Brice de Courcival was built in the eleventh century. The only remains of the original building are the north wall of the nave and two Romanesque bays. The church was enlarged in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries by the addition of chapels and a bell tower. It was restored in the nineteenth century, and now the church has a single nave with a chancel and two chapels, forming the transept. Inside the building, you can admire a seventeenth century terracotta statue of the Madonna and Child.

Classical style church rebuilt in 1648 on the foundations of a first Romanesque building of the 11th century built by the first lords of Bellême. The interior of the church was entirely restored and richly decorated during the 19th century. The nave, flanked by eight richly decorated chapels, is covered with an impressive wooden frame made of the hull of an inverted ship. Its clock is off-centre.

The construction of the church began in 1356 and was completed in the 16th century. A fire in the 18th century led to the reconstruction of the choir, the transept and the bell tower.
