About the location

Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption

Chemin de la Grande Are, 55110 Mont-devant-Sassey

Grand Est

Built in freestones from 1127 by the canonesses d' Andenne, she receives(holds) treasures of Romance and Gothic architecture. Its octagonal covered hall of the XIIIth century, the most old(former) northeast of France to have kept(preserved) its sculptor of origin, presents an exceptional iconography. The pentagonal Romanic chorus(choir) covered there cul-de-four and flanked(thrown) by two absidioles, the short transept and the central vessel of very uncluttered ogival style, show an amazing homogeneity. The crypt perforated on double row of columns is remarkable.
