More about this church

Description

In the heart of Crisnée, Saint-Maurice Church is one of the village’s main landmarks. Dedicated to Saint Maurice, it is part of an ancient religious tradition.

The present building, constructed at the end of the 19th century, replaced an older church that had fallen into disrepair. Built in the Neo-Romanesque style, it is characterised by its simple and harmonious architecture.
Long at the heart of local life, the church has been the setting for the major milestones in the lives of the inhabitants: celebrations, festivals and gatherings.
It was completely renovated in 2025, funded entirely by the municipality of Crisnée, following the collapse of the front façade. A new roof and a new façade made of copper-plated zinc were installed. A winter chapel was built inside the building, which was itself completely repainted.
Even today, it remains a powerful symbol of Crisnée, embodying history, heritage and village identity.
