Description
The church of Moyenvic was completely rebuilt after the bombardments of the Second World War by the Parisian architect Gil Bureau. He will also be in charge of rebuilding houses and farms in Moyenvic and the surrounding villages (Marsal, Salonnes...).
The raw and cold character of the concrete on the outside leaves its place inside the building to a soft blue light. It penetrates the premises thanks to the stained glass windows created by the Lorraine painter Camille Hilaire, the sculptor Claude Goutin and created by the master glassmaker Benoît. Among the resolutely modern furniture are some older elements, such as the organ case from Salival Abbey. Dated from the 16th century, the sculpture of the buffet is comparable to that of the pulpit of the same abbey as you will find in the church of Saint-Marien in Vic-sur-Seille.
