About the location

Collégiale Notre-Dame de l'Assomption
Place d'Armes, 51300 Vitry-le-François
  • Marne
  • Grand Est
In the city based(established) in 1545 by François Ier, who gave him(her,it) his name and his weapons after complete destruction by Charles the Fifth of the old(former) medieval fortified town of Vitry-en-Perthois, a first church with wooden pieces was built, dedicated in 1557\. Canons' middle school(Canons' college) of Vitry-en-Perthois, based(established) by Blanche de Navarre in 1212, settles down in the building in 1586\. Construction of collegiate Notre-Dame of much larger and quite stone, current Assumption, begins in 1629 on the same site and will end in 1898\. Louis XIV will attend it masses celebrated by Bossuet. In Revolution, she(it) is vandalized then converted into store of provender before being restored to worship(cult) in 1795\. In 1914, the church made service(office) of hospital and welcomes 700 wounded persons. The bombardments of 1940 and 1944, which are going to destroy the city in 90 %, harm it seriously, but she still stands; his(her,its) restoration(catering) will spread out until 1960\. The facade in two tours(towers,ballots) and the inside are of classic style. Around a central nave, both shoulders receive 13 chapels and of remarkable retables of the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries. The great organ is exceptional: built by 1740, it is listed(classified) in conformance with(for) historic monuments since 1963\.
