Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Frémécourt

About

Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption Church is a parish Catholic church located in Frémécourt, Val-d'Oise, France. It combines a small choir of the Renaissance, which is not lacking in appeal, with a transept and a nave in part novels, which have lost all character during successive changes. The bell tower is also Romanesque, and is distinguished by the passage to an octagonal plane above the belfry floor, but it is otherwise a banal construction.

The nave gate is placed under the influence of Classicism, and seems to date from around 1700, when the church risked collapse and was to be repaired. Inside, the most remarkable element are the richly carved baptismal fonts of the fourteenth century. The sculpture of the capitals and vault keys of the choir is marked by its distance from the Renaissance conventions, and the originality of its motifs.

The church is listed as historical monuments by order of 28 June 1974. She's still waiting for her restoration. With only two Sunday Masses a year and a few special celebrations, the spiritual life was almost extinguished.
