Capelle-Fermont

The Church of Our Lady of Capelle-Fermont is modest in size, but clearly shows the disappeared provisions of a facade surmounted by a masonry bell tower — called a campenard — reduced to an extension of the gable wall with bays housing the bells. The foundation of this cult building dates back to the 11th century and part of the masonry (basement of the north façade – UA1) dates back to that time. The church was then remodeled quite deeply during various campaigns of work between the middle of the sixteenth and the middle of the seventeenth century. Thus, it appears that the building had a main facade to the east and probably a choir to the west of the building. Remains of an ancient arch are partially the witnesses. In addition, a former campenard is always present at the crowning of the triumphal arch between the nave and the choir. The 19th-century stained glass windows feature central figurations and fillings in coloured and grey glass.
