Église Saint-Gildard
14 Grande rue 95450 Longuesse
On May 14, 918, Charles le Simple granted the chapel of Longuesse to the monastery of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Hugues, Archbishop of Rouen between 979 and 989, confirms the church under the patronage of Saint Gildard. Nothing remains of the original building. The monument as it stands today dates from the first years of the thirteenth century completed in the sixteenth century. The bell tower, which stands to the northwest of the building, dates from the 16th century. The rooster was laid there in 1872, when the arrow was rebuilt, restored again after a violent storm which, in 1917, overthrew it. It should be noted that the church was connected until 1872 to the school house by a vault, which, surmounted by a bedroom, spanned the street. The choir is particularly majestic. Its beautiful luminosity, its eight-pointed pointed arch falling on very thin and very high columns, its capitals with foliated hooks confer a great harmony to the whole. The more modest nave is supported by two aisle
