Take advantage of the visit of the church to discover six newly restored paintings reintegrated into the church after more than 80 years of absence!

The Carignan Collegiate Church, although partially destroyed and rebuilt on many occasions, dates back to the Middle Ages. You can still see several Gothic windows and four of the eight original chapels.
During this visit, it will be possible to admire a set of statues from the 14th to the 19th century, as well as several paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Six of these paintings, recently restored, will be visible for the first time in the collegiate church after an absence of more than eighty years. They had, in fact, been sheltered in 1939 and had never been put back in place since.

This collegiate church dates from the 13th century, was rebuilt in the 16th century and rebuilt in 1681\. The first request for protection took place in 1842\. The church, destroyed three-quarters in 1940, was rebuilt between 1945 and 1973 under the direction of three architects-in-chief of Historical Monuments: Yves-Marie Froidevaux, Robert Renard and Jean Rocard. The modern stained glass windows are by Charles Marq. The church has been protected as an exemplary reconstruction site.
