À propos du lieu

Église Saint-Georges

26, rue du Chanoine Laurent, 54270 Essey-lès-Nancy

Meurthe-et-Moselle
Grand Est

The church of Saint-Georges is located near the High Castle, surrounded by the cemetery and preceded by a terrace. It used to be in the centre of the old village. It was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War in the 17th century.
Of the medieval church, there remains only a Romanesque tower of the twelfth century which assured the old entrance.
It underwent extensions until the end of the sixteenth century. Inside, one can see a liter funerary in the apse and on the sides, at the arms of Haraucourt. There are also 16th-century funerary slabs set against the wall. It has a 19th-century Verschneider organ.
Saint-Georges Church has been listed as a historical monument since 1990.
