On the occasion of the European Heritage Days, visit the Church of Saint-Laurent-la-Roche, a 14th-15th century church classified as a Historic Monument. The team of volunteers from l'Amive (Association de mise en valeur de l'église de Saint-Laurent-la-Roche) will be able to share their passion for this building during guided tours and will let you discover a part of our history with many anecdotes:
- the story of Huguette de Sainte-Croix, accused of having her husband Étienne de Saint-Dizier murdered in 1328;
- Charlotte de la Favée, who died in childbirth, loved and mourned by her husband, Renobert de Mont Saint-Ligier, who left a commemorative plaque in one of the chapels to testify to her affliction;
- the fate of Philibert de Chalon, prince of Orange and head of the armies of Charles V, who died at 28 in 1530 and was probably depicted as a mage king on a mural discovered in the 1960s, and many other anecdotes to explain his statuary, paintings and wall paintings.
Tour guides are available for foreign visitors in English, Spanish, Flemish and German.
