Description

The church of Chamery is situated in the centre of a Champagne village and offers the visitor a remarkable architectural whole. Although it has been reorganised over the centuries the building has kept its romanesque character to be discovered with pleasure.

It is for each, during their visit, to discover the faces hidden in the modillions of the belfry tower, or the outer side walls, or the foliage decorating the capital stones of the pillars. The baptismal fonts, altar decorations and retables, before and above the altars are gothic and do not lack interest.

Chamery is a thousand years of history and architecture to be seen in the stones of this building. The three ceilinged naves, the vaulted transept and sanctuary, the romanesque belfry tower which was heightened in the 16th century, the flat chevet of rubble-stone, all this diversity attracts our gaze and surprises us.
